Good Friday word search puzzle worksheet activity

Good Friday Word Search - Meaningful Holiday Activity

I made this simple word search for my Sunday school class last year when we needed a quiet activity before our Good Friday service. It's a basic 2-page PDF with 24 terms related to the Easter story - words like "cross," "sacrifice," and "Jerusalem" hidden in the puzzle.

The words range from familiar ("bread") to more challenging ("Gethsemane") so different ages can participate. I printed them on cream paper to keep the solemn tone of the day. The kids worked on them while we prepared for our prayer walk.

You'll get:
• Page 1: The word search with clear lettering
• Page 2: A plain answer key

I use this when:

  • Teaching about Holy Week

  • Needing a contemplative activity

  • Preparing children for Easter services

The words come straight from our Bible lessons - "Passover," "disciples," "forgiveness" - not just random religious terms. Last year, the word "compassion" sparked a good discussion about Jesus' actions.

Format: Simple PDF (2 pages)
Tip: Have children underline words that remind them of God's love!
