My new Preschool/Kindergarten class has a couple of young children. They are just starting out with letters and words. We are going over the lesson about when Daniel interpreted the writing on the wall for King Belshazzar. I thought it would be great to have the kids learn how to write the name of God to go along with this lesson. So I put together this very simple word search.

The name of God is written over and over throughout the puzzle. I only put the name of God up and down and forwards. There are no backwards or diagonal. I didn’t want them to get discouraged as they were trying to find the right letters in the right order. Itโs sort of a first word search for early readers/spellers. I can just picture my class spelling G-O-D over and over while they are finding the name in the puzzle. Repetition is a great way to learn and this is just that.
To get them started, you, as the teacher, can talk about how to spell God and even write it on the white board to help them in the beginning. I donโt think it will take them very long to catch on though. Completing this puzzle will give your children confidence in their spelling/reading as well as teaching them how to spell the name of God.
