FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “April Fools Day JOKE Word Search”

This entry was posted in 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade LANGUAGE ARTS LESSONS and tagged free on by (updated on )

1st – 3rd Grade

April Fools is a great, light-hearted day, so it’s a lot of fun in elementary school. Your students will be so surprised that this cute little spring word search is a complete joke! I always try to keep a straight face (but it’s so hard!) as I pass out their word search. I make sure I haven’t mentioned anything about April Fools Day before I give this to them, so of course I give it to them first thing in the morning! It’s such a fun way to start our April Fools Day full of giggles and smiles. Gotcha!

This joke word search is set up to resemble an actual spring-themed worksheet, but the words in the word bank are nowhere to be found!

  • One exception: April.
  • Your clever students will find that the term “April” actually extends to form the term April Fools Day!

Enjoy this April Fools Day freebie, and have a fantastic day with your students!

Don’t forget to leave feedback! I love hearing how you use my resources in your class.
