About this puzzle
Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes weather word search. Sunshine, thunder and everything between. A weather word search to go with a forecast lesson or a rainy afternoon.
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: Rainbow, Thunder, Lightning, Tornado, Hurricane, Drizzle, Sunshine, Cloudy, Forecast, Humidity, Breeze, Hail, Sleet, Fog, Drought, Monsoon, Umbrella, Puddle, Climate, Storm.
Talk about it
Questions to share while solving, for activity groups, memory care or a visit with family:
- What is the worst storm you have ever lived through?
- Do you remember a very hot summer or a very cold winter?
- Did anyone in your family predict the weather by feel or by nature signs?
- What is your favorite kind of weather?
- Have you ever seen a rainbow you still remember?
Activity tip: Before solving, look out the window together and describe today’s weather. It is a gentle orientation activity for memory care groups.
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.
