Large Print Hanukkah Word Search

Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes hanukkah word search. Eight nights of candles, latkes and spinning dreidels. A Hanukkah word search with the words families and teachers actually use.

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: Menorah, Dreidel, Latkes, Candles, Gelt, Miracle, Maccabees, Shamash, Oil, Sufganiyot, Lights, Temple, Blessing, Eightnights, Jerusalem, Festival, Applesauce, Spin, Family, Gifts.

Questions to share while solving, for activity groups, memory care or a visit with family:

• Who lit the menorah in your home, and where did it stand?
• Did you play dreidel? Did you win with gelt or something else?
• How did your family make latkes, with applesauce or sour cream?
• Which Hanukkah song do you remember singing?
• What is your favorite memory of the eight nights?

Activity tip: Solve together around a lit menorah or a picture of one, and talk through the meaning of words like SHAMASH and MACCABEES for anyone less familiar with them.
