The great stories of the Bible, in one grid
The Bible is full of unforgettable stories, and this puzzle gathers many of them. You'll be finding the famous figures — NOAH, MOSES and DAVID — the dramatic tales like DAVID and GOLIATH or JONAH and the whale, and the very beginning of it all, from CREATION and the garden of EDEN to the ARK.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Bible stories word searches are the same. One round a backwards SAMSON hides in a corner; the next a diagonal JERICHO stretches across the middle.
A favourite for RE and Sunday school
Bible stories are a staple of religious education and Sunday school, and a word search is a friendly way to revise the names and tales. This puzzle pairs well with a topic on the Old Testament or famous Bible figures.
Most names are short and familiar, so Easy mode plays well for younger children, while a few like ABRAHAM and CREATION give older players a little more to find.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you find locks in with its own highlight and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
