Number Name Word Search Worksheet for Kids

This word search worksheet asks children ages 4-6 to visually scan a letter grid to find hidden number names, then match each found word to its numeral — combining spelling recognition, visual scanning, and number sense in one activity. Searching for whole words rather than single letters is a step up in difficulty that pushes early readers to recognize letter patterns quickly.

How to use this worksheet

Look at the list of number names your child needs to find before starting, reading each one aloud together. Have your child scan the grid row by row, and when they spot a number name, circle it with a pencil or crayon. After finding all the hidden words, move to the matching section and have your child draw a line or write the numeral next to each number name they found.

Materials needed

  • Pencil
  • Crayons

Extension activities

  • Create a simple homemade word search with just three or four number names for extra practice.
  • Time how long it takes to find all the words, then try again another day to see if speed improves.
  • Write each found number name on an index card and sort the cards from smallest to largest number.
  • Play 'I spy a number word' using a page from a book, searching for any number word you can find.
  • Practice spelling one tricky number name, like 'seven' or 'eight,' using magnetic letters.
