St. Patrick's Day Word Search: Free Printable, Large Print
Shamrocks, fiddles, a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and a bowl of Irish stew: this St. Patrick's Day word search is as green as the parade. Print a stack for March 17 and see who finds the leprechaun first.

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.
