The Story of Mothers Day: Story Word Search Puzzle

Can word searches be educative? We think so. In fact, as far as we know, we invented the concept of the "story word search." This is a word search puzzle that tells a story. Essentially, there is a block of text. Certain terms within the text are capitalized and bolded; these terms are hidden in the puzzle. Instead of looking for random terms in the puzzle, students are looking for terms they understand on some level (having read them in the text).
