Alphabet Soup: Kill Time

Find below a series of word searches that will help you expand your vocabulary in Spanish.

These word searches are also a way to improve your memory, retention, concentration and mental acuity through the exercise of pattern recognition, an extremely important cognitive tool. Pattern recognition is the ability of the human brain to order things and make sense of its surroundings.

Word searches are key to learning a second language or to improving your native language. In addition, they work in the brain's reward center and activate dopamine, a molecule that is naturally released in our brain but rises when we finish a task or do something pleasant.

Finishing an alphabet soup also releases a dose of this molecule and provides us with a well-being that can substantially affect other areas of our life.
