Printable word searches free to download.

These educational word searches are all associated with word families and grammar topics - practising the basics in a fun way.

We also have a second section of word searches which include a Harry Potter Word Search, an Animal Word Search and a Solar System Word Search.

You will need Adobe Reader to view all the word searches - don't worry, if you haven't got it, just click here for the latest free version (a new window will open so you can download it without leaving this page).

All the words either go across, down or diagonally. None go backwards! In many of the word searches there is a rogue animal to find! This has nothing to do with the pattern or theme and you can ignore it if you wish. But the chances are, if a child is doing the word search, they'll spot it and mention it. So be prepared!

Just click on the highlighted text and the educational word search will open in a new window. If you like it, print it off in the normal way.
