Remembrance Day Word Searches
Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. It is observed on 11 November in most countries to recall the end of hostilities of the First World War on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended “at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month”.

During the pandemic, understandably, there weren’t as many poppy sellers on the streets, however, in 2022, you will start seeing them again from the 27th of October.
If you are unable to get out to buy a poppy from a volunteer, donating to the Poppy Appeal online is one way that you can help those in need within the Armed Forces community; serving, and ex-serving personnel and their families.
The Poppy Shop also has a wide range of poppy items including pins, brooches, accessories, and more. If you can’t get out, or if you can’t find a poppy seller this year, this is another way for you to get involved.
100% of the profits from selling poppies go to the Royal British Legion which helps members of the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force, veterans, and their families. Their support starts after one day of service and continues through life, long after service is over.
I am not personally associated with the Royal British Legion or the Poppy Day shop but like to help in ways that I can.
I have created these free printable Remembrance Day Word Searches (the download is further down the page) that you can print off at home, work, school, care home, community center, etc., to solve – please use the button below to donate if you are able.
From veterans of the Falklands War and WW2 to those who continue to play a vital role in service to Britain today, we are commemorating military and civilian service through a variety of anniversaries and events in 2022.

When should you start wearing a poppy for Remembrance Day?
Many people think that wearing a poppy 11 days before Remembrance Day is the best way to honour those who have been impacted by war.
If you wish to do the same, you can start wearing your poppy on the 31st of October until the 11th of November
How To Solve Word Searches
There are three difficulty levels for these word search puzzles – easy, medium, and hard. That makes them suitable for all ages and abilities.
- There are 10 simple, single words to find in the easy puzzle, words appear horizontally and vertically, and forwards only.
- There are 20 words and phrases in the medium puzzle, words appear horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and forwards only.
- There are 30 words and phrases in the hard puzzle, words appear forwards and backward and in all directions – horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.
Also included are the answer sheets to all the puzzles should you have trouble finding [some of] the words/phrases.
Puzzles like this word search are fab for those with a competitive nature!
Whether it is by yourself and trying to solve the puzzle against a timer, or with other people to see who can find all the words first.
As you find the words, cross them off the list.
I like to use highlighter pens to mark words when I find them, as opposed to crossing them through.
Highlighting the words is best for children as the letters can still be clearly seen (useful when words cross paths on the grid).
