National Honesty Day Word Search - A Classroom Favorite!

I made this word search last year for my 5th graders to celebrate National Honesty Day on April 30th. It's a simple 2-page PDF with 24 honesty-related words hidden in all directions - words we actually use in class like "truth," "integrity," and "trustworthy."

The puzzle includes:
• Everyday terms kids know ("promise")
• Character ed vocabulary ("accountable")
• A few challenge words ("transparency")

I printed these on yellow paper - my students said it reminded them of "honesty stars" - and we used them:

• As morning work on Honesty Day

• During our character education unit

• As a discussion starter about trust

Page 1 has the word search with a clean layout. Page 2 is just the answer key - no frills, just what busy teachers need. The kids loved racing to find all the words before recess!

Some words spark great talks. Last year, "confess" led to an honest discussion about admitting mistakes - way better than I planned!

Format: Basic 2-page PDF
Teacher Tip: Have students put a star by the honesty trait they want to work on!
