In my newsletter, For Moms With Minis, I share free activity printables designed for kids aged 2-5. These fun activities help little ones practice colors, numbers, letters, fine motor skills, and more. Don’t worry if your child can’t do everything just yet—each activity is designed with different levels of difficulty in mind. The key is to have fun, be patient, and enjoy the time spent together. Every bit of practice counts, and I’m here to support you along the way!

This sports-themed word search worksheet is a fun way for preschool and kindergarten kids to build early literacy skills while exploring a theme they love. Children search for common sports-related words hidden in the puzzle, helping them practice letter recognition, visual scanning, and focus. The familiar sports images at the bottom of the page also help reinforce vocabulary.

This worksheet works especially well for kindergarten students who are beginning to recognize words, but it can also be adapted for preschoolers by searching for letters together. It’s a great low-pressure activity that encourages problem-solving and patience while still feeling playful and approachable.

Teachers can use this worksheet during a sports-themed unit, as morning work, or as a quiet center activity. For homeschool families and at-home learning, it’s perfect for independent practice or working together side by side to find each word.
