Hard Easter Word Search
Big grids with words hidden in all eight directions, backwards included. The second puzzle is an expert bent-word challenge where words turn corners.
This printable Easter word search covers both sides of the holiday: bunnies, baskets, and jelly beans alongside Palm Sunday, the empty tomb, and alleluia. It fits a Sunday school table, a family brunch, or a basket stuffer that keeps kids busy after the egg hunt.

About this easter word search
- Western churches celebrate Easter on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21, so the date moves between March 22 and April 25.
- The White House Easter Egg Roll has been held on the South Lawn since 1878, when President Rutherford B. Hayes opened the grounds to children.
- Tip: fold a printed puzzle into a large plastic egg during your hunt. Whoever finds it gets a quiet activity for the drive to church or Grandma's.
