A Printable Puzzle Pack for Care Homes
A free weekly large-print puzzle pack designed for care home activity programmes — seven days of puzzles, answer keys included.
Built for activity programmes
If you plan activities in a care home, you know the practical problems with puzzle books: one copy can't be shared, the print is usually too small, and photocopying a book page produces a grey, faint grid that nobody enjoys.
Our weekly pack is designed to be printed as many times as you need. Every page is high-contrast black on white, one puzzle per page, with large type throughout — it photocopies cleanly and reads well even in soft lounge lighting.
What's inside each week
The dating matters more than it looks: puzzles tied to today's date give a session structure, invite conversation ('did you find them all yesterday?'), and mean everyone in the room is working on the same puzzle together.
- Seven large-print word searches, each on a warm familiar theme (the seaside, baking day, the garden…)
- Seven easy sudoku with big writing squares
- Full answer keys at the back, on separate pages
- Dated pages, so Tuesday's puzzle really is Tuesday's puzzle
Ways to run a puzzle session
- Individual sheets over tea — the classic, and still the best
- Pairs, with one reader and one writer — lovely where sight or hands vary
- On the big screen: the same day's puzzles are on our website and work well on a lounge TV with a browser
- A gentle 'puzzle of the week' noticeboard corner using a printed sheet and yesterday's answers
