All around the house
The home is full of words little ones know well, and this word search gathers them. You'll be finding the rooms — the KITCHEN, BEDROOM and BATHROOM — and the things inside, from the DOOR and WINDOW to a CHAIR, TABLE and cosy SOFA.
Each puzzle pulls a fresh selection from the list, so the house changes every time you play — gentle on Easy, and a bigger home tour once the diagonals and backwards words appear on Hard.
Room by room in the grid
The grid takes you all around the house. There are the rooms — the KITCHEN, BEDROOM, BATHROOM and HALL — and the way between them, the STAIRS, the DOOR and the WINDOW. Inside you'll find the furniture and bits and pieces: a CHAIR, TABLE and SOFA, a SINK and MIRROR, a LAMP and CLOCK, a SHELF, a soft RUG, CARPET and PILLOW — and outside, the ROOF over your head and the GARDEN.
Every room has a job to do
A house is cleverly divided up so each room has its own job — and noticing that is a real early-learning idea. We cook and eat in the KITCHEN, wash in the BATHROOM, sleep in the BEDROOM, and relax on the SOFA in the living room, while the HALL and STAIRS join them all together. Sorting things into 'which room does this belong in?' is a fun thinking game that helps children make sense of the space around them.
Homes look different all over the world, too. Some people live in a tall block of flats, some in a house with a GARDEN, some in homes built from wood, brick, stone or even ice — but nearly all share the same basics in this grid: a ROOF to keep the rain off, a DOOR to come and go, WINDOWS to let in light, and somewhere cosy to sleep. That makes 'at home' a warm, relatable early-years topic — and the perfect prompt for a 'go and find it' game: read a word like PILLOW or CLOCK, then dash off and point to the real thing.
Great for an early-years topic
It pairs nicely with a 'find it at home' game — Easy mode uses a small grid with no diagonals or reverse words. Play online, print a PDF pack, or use Make Your Own to build a grid from the rooms and things in your own home.
