About this puzzle
Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes creation word search. Light on the first day, rest on the seventh. This Creation word search follows Genesis 1 and 2: the sun, moon and stars, the seas and the fish, the birds and the cattle, Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. A gentle first Bible puzzle for young readers.
The large print edition uses an 11×11 grid that fills a letter-size page, and words only run across, down or diagonally down.
All 20 words in this theme: Light, Heaven, Earth, Seas, Trees, Sun, Moon, Stars, Fish, Birds, Adam, Eve, Darkness, Waters, Grass, Fruit, Cattle, Garden, Eden, Rest.
Talk about it
Questions to share while solving, for activity groups, memory care or a visit with family:
- What is the most beautiful sunrise or sunset you have ever seen?
- Which part of nature do you love most: the sea, the woods, the mountains or the fields?
- Did you have a garden as a child? What grew in it?
- Which animal or bird do you enjoy watching most?
- How do you like to spend a quiet day of rest?
Activity tip: Before starting, read Genesis 1 aloud slowly, one day at a time. Each time a day is read, solvers look for that day’s words, like LIGHT, SEAS or STARS.
Questions
How big are the letters?
The grid fills most of a letter-size page, with letters about one and a half times the size of a regular (Medium) word search, and the word list is printed in large type too.
Are these suitable for memory care or activity groups?
Yes. Words only run left to right, top to bottom or diagonally down, so the puzzles are relaxing rather than tricky. Print as many copies as your group needs.
Is there a harder version?
Every theme also has a regular print edition with Easy, Medium and Hard levels.
