Celebrate the warmest season of the year with this fun summer printable word search! Find all sorts of summer-related words—it’s perfect for kids, adults, teachers and students!

Summer is in full swing here and despite the fact that temperatures are mind-meltingly high, I’m really enjoying the season. Now that my boys are into boyhood, it’s fun to experience summer break again. We’re swimming and playing in the sprinkler, going for early-morning bike rides, and taking day trips to cooler elevations.

That being said, it’s often too warm (hot, blazing, Hades) to be outside. Yay northern California! So while my boys are playing in the cool AC, I’ve tried to get off my phone and computer a bit more and read books and do pen-and-paper puzzles. Word searches are always a fave of mine, though I do love a good sudoku puzzle or logic problem as well.

In the spirit of summer activities, today I have a fun-filled summer word search for you! It’s perfect for a moment at home when you need to cool off. Twenty-four summer words are hidden in the grid, forward, backward, and diagonally. From flamingo to ice cream, lifeguard to watermelon, all your summer favorites are in this puzzle! Print out on high-quality paper and get finding!

I think this a lot of fun for kids, adults, and even a great activity for kids at school (what a great last-day-of-school idea!). Or, on the first day of summer break, you could print out a stack and make it a timed race to see which family member can finish the puzzle first! Happy puzzling!
