Large Print Outer Space Word Search

Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes outer space word search. Planets, rockets and the occasional black hole. A space word search for budding astronauts and science classes.

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: Galaxy, Planet, Rocket, Astronaut, Comet, Meteor, Nebula, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Orbit, Telescope, Gravity, Asteroid, Eclipse, Moon, Cosmos, Satellite, Mercury, Stardust.

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

• Do you remember where you were for the 1969 Moon landing?
• Have you ever looked through a telescope? What did you see?
• Which planet would you visit if you could?
• Have you ever seen a shooting star or a comet?
• Did you ever watch a rocket launch on TV?

Activity tip: On a clear evening, follow the puzzle with a short look at the night sky, or a printed star map for those who cannot go outside.
