Hearts, mail and friends
The words follow a classroom Valentine's Day: red and pink hearts and roses, cards and notes that go in an envelope with a stamp, a mailbox to drop them in, then cupcakes, cookies and glitter for the party. The kind words, friend, kind, share, hug and smile, sit in the middle of the list so each of the three ready puzzles has some of them.
Three examples
Friend to February, twelve words in lowercase, 12 by 12, across and down.
Heart to valentine, twelve words with diagonals at 15 by 15 on A4 paper.
Smile to glitter, seven party words hidden every way in a 10 by 10 grid, no answers.

Questions and answers
Can a whole class use the Valentine's Day word search?
Yes. Print one PDF as many times as needed; the puzzle is the same on every copy. For a puzzle with each child's name in it, type the names into the maker.
Which Valentine's puzzle is the biggest?
The Party puzzle: twenty words in a 15 by 15 grid, running in all eight directions, backward included.
What does the Mail puzzle hide?
Ten words about sending a valentine: card, note, letter, envelope, stamp, mailbox and valentine, then friend, kind and share, with some on a slant.
Do the Valentine's puzzles use red ink?
No. They print in black, and the answer page shades the found words in a pale tone, so any home or school printer will do.
How long can a word be in a Valentine's word search?
Up to 12 letters, and no longer than the grid is wide: a 10 by 10 grid takes words of 10 letters at most. Valentine, the longest word here, has 9.
