If you’re planning Easter activities for your church, these Easter word search printables can be a simple and effective resource to support your ministry.
They work well for Sunday School, children’s church, senior adult groups, small groups, outreach events, or as take-home activities for families.
Word searches are a gentle way to keep hearts and minds focused on the Easter season while also offering an engaging, low-stress activity for a wide range of ages.
To help you save time, we’ve created three free Easter word search printables you can use in your ministry. We’ll also point you to additional Christian word search options if you need more variety for different age groups or settings.
Easter Word Search Printable: 3 Free Options
Church volunteers often need ready-to-use resources that can be printed quickly and shared easily. At Church Ministry Help, we’ve designed three free printable word search puzzles that work well for Easter and spring ministry events.
The current free themes are:
- Simple Easter
- Easter Egg Hunt
- Springtime Outdoor Fun
You can download these free puzzles toward the end of this article. We also offer a larger printable set in our Etsy shop that includes a few additional themed word searches for churches that would like more options.
Each puzzle is formatted as a 10 x 10 grid with 10 words to locate. To keep the activity accessible, words appear only left-to-right and top-to-bottom. They do not appear diagonally, backward, or upward. Difficulty varies slightly based on vocabulary choice, allowing you to select the most appropriate puzzle for your group.
Answer keys are included for every puzzle, which is especially helpful for volunteers, teachers, and group leaders.
These printables may be used for personal, classroom, and ministry purposes. We kindly ask that you do not sell the files in any format and that you direct others to our website rather than sharing the files themselves.
