The scriptures of the world's faiths
Almost every religion has a SACRED book or set of writings, and this puzzle gathers them. You'll be finding the Christian BIBLE, the Muslim QURAN, the Jewish TORAH and TANAKH, the Hindu VEDAS and GITA, and the Sikh Guru GRANTH Sahib.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the words, no two Holy Books word searches are the same. One round a backwards TRIPITAKA hides in a corner; the next a diagonal SCRIPTURE appears across the middle.
Scriptures from around the world
Many traditions keep their teachings in writing, and the words are here. There's the Buddhist TRIPITAKA and the SUTRA, the Jewish TALMUD, the Confucian ANALECTS, the Zoroastrian AVESTA, and the Muslim HADITH. Within the Bible you'll find the GOSPEL, the PSALMS and the Old and New TESTAMENT. Whether kept as a SCROLL or a printed book, these HOLY writings are divided into CHAPTER and VERSE — the SCRIPTURE at the heart of each faith.
It's a great fit for an RE or world-religions topic. Tracking down S-C-R-I-P-T-U-R-E turns spelling practice into a lesson about holy books.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
