I like to give out word searches to students, I feel it helps a lot with learning how to recognise words. This one is a bit of a challenge in that it involves students being able to know the upper case version of lower case words.
I give this kind of print as a take-home-and-enjoy by yourself print or as a way to occupy students who have completed tasks within a set time period.
I notice that in a class, in a good class, they help each other to find the words.
Oh, and I put in wrong spellings for extra...fun.
I made it with https://worksheets.theteacherscorner.net/make-your-own/word-search/ which is great.
