Ten Commandments Puzzles for Kids to Print

With word search puzzles, children find hidden words among a puzzle of letters. Usually, the letters line up with a number of letters lined up horizontally and the same number of letters lined up vertically. Whether there are five or 12 letters in each line, depends on how difficult a puzzle has been created. While the letters may appear random, hidden in the frame of letters are words. Children find and circle the words they find in the word search puzzle. A word search Ten Commandment puzzle would include words or phrases from the Biblical passage from Exodus. While you can create a word search puzzle, hiding words among other letters for the children to find by going up or down, side to side or horizontal, you can also find and print out ready-made puzzles from websites online. The Best Free Word Search Puzzles offers “The Ten Commandments Word Search Puzzle” as a free download. The Garden of Praise also offers a “The Ten Commandments” word search puzzle to print out.
