Prodigal Son Word Search, free printable PDF preview

The prodigal son is one of the best known parables, a story about forgiveness. A younger son asks for his inheritance early, leaves on a long journey, and spends it all. When a famine hits, he is left with nothing and decides to return home, ready to repent. Instead of anger, his father runs to welcome him, dresses him in a robe and ring, and throws a feast. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.

Frequently asked questions

What does prodigal mean in this prodigal son word search?

Prodigal means wastefully extravagant. The son spends his whole INHERITANCE quickly, which is what leaves him with nothing when the FAMINE comes.

What is the point of the parable?

It is a story about FORGIVENESS. The FATHER welcomes his son back without condition, celebrating the return rather than dwelling on the mistake.
