I had SOOO much fun creating this free printable spring word search for kids. I mean, I create a lot of these types of printables, and creating printables for me is my happy place 😍 but this one was a little EXTRA FUN. 🎉
Maybe it’s because I’m really wishing and hoping it’d be spring already! I mean, man…how long is this winter going to last?! Ugh. I’m done with it. 😆
I want green grass, rainbows, rainy days, flowers, and all that fun stuff. I’m SO ready! 💯
In this spring word search printable, I also created a few of the words to be backwards, so it’ll add a little challenging twist to your normal spring word search puzzle game! YAY!
And I got so into the words, and thinking about them and how much I want spring to arrive, I created a secondary printable that I thought kids would really love too…a charade’s type of game with all the fun spring vocabulary words!
And if you really want to make spring a unit lesson study, use as homeschool spring worksheets, or a whole day filled with lots of fun stuff, be sure to check out ALL my fun (and FREE!) Spring activity printables here:
(coming soon!)
You could even use all these fun printables as a spring break activity for kids, a cute spring party game for kids, or as an early finisher spring worksheet for teachers to keep in their bins!
However you use these free printables, kids will LOVE the spring coloring word search and act it out page, and have lots of springtime fun! 🤩 I’m so excited for you!!! 🎉

Act It Out
After your kids are done completing the spring word search printable, cut out the slips of paper below and play a fun charades game as a group of Act It Out. Kids act out the word without speaking, and everyone guesses.
How to Play
- Print and cut out the educational spring word boxes, fold in half, and put them in a hat or container so kids can draw a slip of paper.
- Choose one person to act first (roll dice [here’s a free template] and whoever gets the highest number upon roll goes first).
- That person picks a random slip of paper from the hat or container without telling anyone what it is.
- They act out the spring vocabulary word using only movements and facial expressions. No talking or spelling.
- Everyone else guesses until someone guesses it correctly.
- Switch actors and keep going until you’ve done as many words as you want.
Easy Ways to Use the Charades Game
- Classroom or homeschool group: One student acts, the group guesses, then the next student goes.
- Partners: One acts while the other guesses, then switch.
- Movement break: You call out a word and everyone acts it at the same time.
- Nature word search for kids: You could go outside and try to FIND all the things in nature (think: scavenger hunt). Print out one sheet for each child and use it as a checklist. Cross off each thing as you find it.

• Other printables are either functional OR cute. I bridge the gap between the two. Since I'm a single mom and don't have time to mess around and am a kid at heart, I love something that actually propels me forward and gets the job done quickly, while still having that super cute vibe I'm known for.
• I'm a graphic designer FIRST. This means my printables, whether free or paid for, will always be of the highest quality and print crisp and clear on any printer.
• I love what I do and I do the work myself. I'm not hiring these out. This is my life, my hobby, my passion, my heart.
• My fans are obsessed with my work. To date, I've made over $23M on printables alone (organically) in the past 8 years.
Yes! Except for some large binders, all printables on the blog are 100% free for personal use. I make these because I genuinely want you to have something cute and helpful right now without having to spend a dime. You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, more organized, and more you, and if a simple printable can make your day feel lighter, I am so happy to give that to you.
Absolutely! You're welcome to print as many copies as you need for your own students or church groups. I only ask that you do not edit them in any way (leaving the full copyright line in tact) or sell them or host the digital files on other websites. Please always link back to this post to share with others.
For best results, I recommend printing on 8.5"x11" white paper. These are professionally designed as high-resolution PDFs so they will stay crisp and clear, making them perfect for any printer.
