When and How to include a word search (tips)

When making your own custom word search, you decide which words to search for and which direction the words should be found in.

If you are working on a school magazine, you can use words related to your school. For instance, you can make a list of words relating to your school's colours, themes, classes, subjects, clubs and more to include in the search.

If you are working on a wedding or birthday magazine, you can use words related to either the couple getting married or the person whose birthday it is. Start off with a list of words of things they like, words that describe them, hobbies, names, favourite foods, and countries visited, just to name a few.

With help of a word search creator, you can create a word search in seconds. Once your word search is complete, save your word search as an image (png, jpeg, jpg) onto your computer and then drag and drop the image into the makerspace. Then, add the image to the page. For the best result, make sure the image is high quality in order to be printed well.
