Letter X Word Search – X Marks the Spot!

I created this 2-page word search for my kindergarten class when they asked, "Why is X so rare?" Now they hunt for 24 exciting X words like "xylophone," "fox," and "mix" hidden in all directions. The class cheered when someone found "x-ray"—suddenly everyone was pretending to be doctors!

What’s Inside:
✔ 2 printable pages (word search + answer key)
✔ Bonus “X Marks the Treasure” game (page 2: connect X-words to hidden pictures)
✔ Fun clipart (treasure maps, x-rays, boxing gloves for "box")

Teacher Tale:
“A student yelled ‘FOX!’ and our class stuffed fox became the mascot for the day—complete with an X-shaped bowtie!” – Ms. L., K-1 Teacher

Perfect For:
• Letter X week
• Pirate/treasure hunt themes
• Ending sound practice (box, six, fox)

Sample Words:

• ax

Teacher Hack:
Make “X Spy Glasses”—tape two pipe cleaners into X shapes to “spot” words like detectives!
