This Greek mythology word search is a fun way to reinforce learning while giving kids a screen-free activity break.

Word search printables are great for building vocabulary, boosting focus, and encouraging problem-solving—and this one adds a mythological twist with 18 hidden names from ancient stories.

You’ll find the Greek gods hidden horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and even backward, so it’s a good challenge for upper elementary and middle school kids.
