About this puzzle

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.

Easy (10×10) places words across and down only. Medium (13×13) adds diagonals. Hard (15×15) runs words in all eight directions, and its filler letters are borrowed from the word list to create false starts.

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.

Read the story: Exodus 2–20.

Lesson idea: Ask older children to look up the plagues in Exodus 7–12 and count them, then see which two plagues, the frogs and the locusts, are hidden in the puzzle.

Questions

Can I print copies for my whole class?

Yes. Puzzles are free for classroom and personal use. Use “Shuffle grid” and print to give students different layouts of the same words.

Which level should I choose?

Easy suits grades 2–3: a small grid with words only across and down. Medium adds diagonals for grades 4–6. Hard uses a bigger grid with words in all eight directions, good for middle school and adults.

Is there a large print version?

Yes. Every theme has a large print edition with bigger letters and a roomier grid, made for seniors and low vision.
