Back to School Word Search

Updated on June 20, 2025

Back to School Word Search. Free printable word search. Perfect for back to school activities at school or at home. Includes a printable answer key.

August means it is time for back to school! Celebrate with a fun activity at home or in the classroom with this back to school word search.

Print out the word search and answer key below. There are fifteen words to find. They go up, down, and diagonally. Have your child circle each of the words. If you get stuck, you can use the printable answer key to help you out!

My kids also like to use highlighters to mark off each word. Make it reusable by laminating the sheet or placing it in a page protector to use again and again with a wet or dry-erase marker.
