Farm Animal Word Search, Free PDF

This 12×12 sheet uses twenty farm-themed words with easy placement for pre-readers who are still learning direction words. Controls below adjust list, grid, or difficulty; New puzzle below scrambles the layout for a second group at centers. Pair with a picture book read-aloud before handing out pencils. Print at 100%; the answer key on page two saves you from solving it during setup.
