This free printable St. Patrick’s Day word search is a family-friendly way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with your kids and it’s easy to use, even if you personally stink at word searches, because it comes with an answer key.
I love word searches. That’s why I have a whole page devoted to free printable word searches here on The Artisan Life! They’re fun, educational, and an easy, no-prep activity for kids. Simply print, hand them over with a pencil, and catch a few minutes of quiet time to yourself!
This word search printable for St. Pat’s comes in two versions – color and in-saving black and white. Both are available totally free, no email address required!

How to use your printables
First, download your free printable word searches. The links are below the preview images lower down in this post. No email address required!
Next, of course, you need to actually print your word puzzles. I hate using all my ink for a one-off printable, which is why I highly recommend laminating your pages or putting them in a dry erase pocket. A dry erase pocket is basically a super strength page protector.
When you laminate the word search or use a dry erase pocket, your child can do the word search over and over again. Sometimes kids actually want to do the same puzzle back to back. If not, you can stash it away to use again tomorrow or even next year. It’s an easy way to get more mileage out of one simple printable!

The word searches are free for personal and classroom use. This includes using them with a scout troop, Sunday school class, etc. as long as you are personally involved with the event.
