Download and print this free August word search — 15 hidden words for the month that stretches summer as far as it’ll go, from a rumbling THUNDERSTORM to the last SANDCASTLE of the season. It’s a free PDF with the answer key included, sized for standard printer paper and made for back-to-school prep, late campfire nights, and the final stretch of pool days before fall.
The word list is easy: PEACH, MUGGY and SWIMMING come quickly, while SANDCASTLE, THUNDERSTORM and ROADTRIP stretch things a little further. It works well from about age 7 up, and pairs nicely with packing a BACKPACK for the new school year or chasing a CICADA off the porch screen.
