Martin Luther King Day occurs on the third Monday each January. It is a Federal holiday in the United States, which means it's a long weekend for many.
Word search puzzles are a no-prep way to teach a themed vocabulary list and develop your child or student's attention to detail and fine motor skills. They can also help students with reading comprehension skills.
There are many word search games with varying difficulty levels here on The Artisan Life. Make sure to grab this winter word search and this January word search while you're here! They're a fantastic way to build a wider vocabulary (and they're no-prep for you).
Learning Center members can log in and download the PDF file from the word puzzles section of the membership site. Not a Learning Center member yet? Join for as little as 7 cents a day and unlock easy access to hundreds of printables in a simplified, ad-free site.
This printable activity can be used in many ways at home or in the classroom. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Laminate the sheet or slide it into a dry erase pocket to make a reusable word search for your ELA center
- Use the word search as part of your classroom MLK lesson plan
- Turn it into a game for your entire class or family to see who can find the most words in a certain amount of time
- Use it in your homeschool curriculum
- Use it for early finishers or as morning work

Words can be hidden forwards, backwards, and diagonally. This makes the word search a bit more challenging so it can be used with elementary and even middle school students.
There is no age limit on who can use this themed puzzle. Older adults love word searches, too! They can help odler adults maintain their cognitive abilities. If you have a word search lover in your life, be sure to check out my 101 themed word search puzzle book in print. =)
