April Showers Word Search: Free Printable, Large Print
Rain boots by the door, an umbrella that never quite stays shut and the pitter patter on the windowpane. April showers bring May flowers, and in the meantime they bring a good excuse to stay in with a puzzle.
Easy: 12 x 12 grid, extra large print
12 words that read across or down only. Big letters with plenty of space, and a tick box beside each word.
Medium: 15 x 15 grid, large print
All 18 words, running across, down or diagonally. No backwards words.
How to print
Open the PDF for your paper size and print at 100% / Actual size (not “fit to page”) for the biggest letters. Every sheet keeps a half-inch margin, so it prints cleanly on home printers. The answer key is a separate file.
