About this puzzle
Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes moses and the exodus word search. From a basket in the bulrushes to the edge of Canaan. A Moses word search covering the burning bush, the plagues of Egypt, the first Passover, the crossing of the Red Sea, manna in the wilderness and the tablets of the law on Mount Sinai.
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: Moses, Aaron, Pharaoh, Egypt, Basket, Bush, Plagues, Passover, Red Sea, Manna, Sinai, Tablets, Miriam, Bulrushes, Frogs, Locusts, Quail, Rod, Wilderness, Canaan.
Talk about it
Questions to share while solving, for activity groups, memory care or a visit with family:
- Which part of the Moses story do you remember best from Sunday school?
- Have you ever been to a Passover meal or a seder?
- Which of the Ten Commandments did you have to memorize first?
- Have you seen a film about Moses? What do you remember about it?
- Where would you go if you could take one long journey like the Israelites?
Activity tip: This puzzle works well as an introduction to a Bible study on Exodus. Afterwards, ask the group to put the found words in story order, from BASKET to CANAAN.
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.
