Letter Q Word Search – Quest for Q Words

I created this 2-page word search for my kindergarten class when they were questioning why Q is always with U. Now they hunt for 24 quirky Q words like "queen," "quilt," and "quack" hidden in all directions. The room erupted when someone found "quiz"—suddenly everyone was making up silly questions for the principal!

What’s Inside:
✔ 2 printable pages (word search + answer key)
✔ Bonus “QU Wedding” activity (draw Q and U together—they’re always a pair!)
✔ Quirky clipart (quails, question marks, quills)

Teacher Tale:
“A kid shouted ‘QUAIL!’ and ran to our class pet (a parakeet named Mr. Q)—close enough!” – Ms. B., K-1 Teacher

Perfect For:
• Letter Q week
• Phonics sound practice
• Quiet time activities (ironically!)

Sample Words:

• quick

• quest

• quench

Teacher Hack:
Make “QU Crowns”—students wear them while searching to remember the Q+U rule
