Red Ribbon Week word search puzzle worksheet activity

The Red Ribbon Week Word Search presents a themed letter grid with a word bank containing colours, materials, decorations, awards, and ribbon-related terms. Learners locate the listed spellings in the puzzle and mark them systematically. A completed second page shows where the words appear for teacher checking. The activity is best used as a vocabulary or visual-scanning supplement within a broader prevention lesson rather than as the sole source of health information.
