National Laundry Day Word Search - Practical Learning Fun!

I made this word search for my life skills class when we did our laundry unit last year. It's a simple 2-page PDF with 24 laundry-related words hidden in the puzzle - things kids actually see like "detergent," "hanger," and "wrinkles."

The words range from easy ("sock") to more challenging ("fabric softener") so all my students could participate. I printed them on light blue paper to match our laundry theme, and the class worked on them while waiting for their turn at the washing machine demonstration.

You'll get:
• Page 1: The word search with clear, large-print letters
• Page 2: A straightforward answer key

I use this when:

• Teaching independent living skills

• Needing a relevant time-filler activity

• Preparing for our laundromat field trip

The words reflect real laundry tasks - "sort," "fold," "stain" - not just vocabulary terms. My students especially liked finding "dryer sheet" right after we'd used some in our demonstration.

Format: Basic PDF (2 pages)
Teacher Tip: Have students circle three words they'll use when doing laundry at home!
