This May word search puzzle is a great way to spend time together with kids and families.
We love the idea of having puzzles and games for the kids to work their minds instead of having their faces in video games. Having them color and have fun with word find puzzles and pencil and paper is a fun way to flex those brain muscles.
Printable word search puzzles and printable puzzles in general are so good for everyone no matter what different levels they are at. It is a great activity to have some fun around the month of May.

Celebrating May
The month of May is a fabulous month full of Spring and lots of celebrations. In May there is May Day, Cinco De Mayo, and Memorial Day, in addition to my personal favorite, Mother's Day. Spring is in full effect and hopefully, the May Gray is staying away.
Of course, there are lesser-known holidays in the month of May like Star Wars Day, National Space Day, and National Cactus Day.
There is so much fun and celebration to be had in May and that makes everything that much more HAPPY.

All About Word Search Games
A word search game is a great tool for both younger children and older ones. They are great for increasing word recognition and vocabulary. Not to mention they are full of fun!
For those that may not be familiar with word seek puzzles, they are puzzles of hidden words that are based around a theme, like May. Each new puzzle contains a box of letters or a puzzle grid and a word list containing words that are all based on the subject or theme.
The object of the new puzzles is to find each of the hidden words inside the puzzle grid. It's like a secret message. Based on the difficulty of the puzzle and the words, they could be hidden from side to side, up and down, or diagonally.
Once the word is found, it's important to cross out the word, highlight it, or make a mark through it. The puzzle is complete once all the words are found.
The Difficulty of Word Searches
There are different levels of difficulty for each themed word search.
For the easier word puzzles, the hidden words have fewer letters of words to find. And the hidden words are typically going from left to right and from top to bottom.
A more difficult word search puzzle will make them up, down, forward, backward and both directions diagonally. A hard word search will have vocabulary words with more letters, and word search puzzles can be helpful in teaching vocabulary words and spelling words. Even in high school.
Word searches are similar to a crossword puzzle in that you are looking for the words to solve the puzzle. Word searches are different from crosswords because the word list is given and in crossword puzzles, the word needs to figure out.
