The River Jordan word search

The River Jordan: a free large-print word search

The River Jordan word search, free and large-print. Wade into the story of the flowing water, the dove, and the voice that rang out over the banks.

About The River Jordan

The Jordan winds southward through a green valley between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea, its banks thick with reeds and tamarisk. For centuries it was a place of crossing, Joshua led the Israelites through it on dry ground, and its waters held a deep meaning long before any footstep touched it. It was here that crowds came out from the villages and towns, waded into the current with John, and heard a voice from heaven that changed everything.
