Holy Saturday Word Search - Meaningful Easter Activity

I made this word search for my Sunday School class last year when we needed a quiet activity for Holy Saturday. It's a simple 2-page PDF with 24 terms related to this sacred day - words like "tomb," "waiting," "vigil," and "preparation" hidden in the puzzle.

The words I chose reflect what we actually discuss in church - from biblical terms like "Joseph of Arimathea" to concepts like "silence" that help kids understand this solemn day. The medium difficulty level works well for grades 3-6, with words going across, down, and diagonally.

What you get:
• Page 1: The word search with a clean design
• Page 2: Answer key for easy checking

I've used this when:

• Teaching about Easter traditions

• Needing a contemplative activity

• Preparing children for the Vigil Mass

The words prompt good discussions - last year my students asked great questions about "anointing" after finding it in the puzzle. I printed them in purple ink to match the liturgical color.

Format: Basic PDF (2 pages)
Teacher Tip: Have students circle the word that makes them most curious to learn more!
