1. Language Development: A rich vocabulary is crucial for both ease of self expression and children’s confidence. Themed word searches, such as Christmas word searches, can be useful in helping children develop their language skills.

As children look for words it’s easy to forget they’re practicing spellings and drawing on knowledge of spelling rules and patterns to find words.

At The Educator’s Space, you’ll find a selection of Christmas word searches in the Christmas activity packs which include just the right amount of challenge to build children’s spelling skills as they practice finding words,

2. Perseverance: Beyond concentration, perseverance is a powerful skill we want all children to develop. Whilst some of the options for teaching perseverance can be particularly challenging for children, word searches and puzzle printables are a fun, stress-free way of building children’s endurance.

3. Problem-solving: From spatial awareness to strategic thinking, doing word searches this holiday season will put children’s cognitive skills to good use. They’ll be using trial and error, logic, critical thinking and more to find words successfully.
