Puzzle guide
About easy halloween word search puzzles
What they are
Easy Halloween word searches hide GHOST, WITCH, PUMPKIN and SPIDER in straight lines across and down, always reading forwards. Grids range from a 10×10 sheet for a quick treat to a 20×20 haunted house with up to 25 spooky words.
How to play
Pick a word from the cauldron of words beside the grid. Find its opening letter, then look to the right and below; if the rest of the word is there, circle it in orange or black and cross it off.
Tips
SKELETON and BROOMSTICK are long and easy to spot first. Words ending in Y, such as SPOOKY and CREEPY, share a pattern you can scan for, and the double O in SPOOKY is a real giveaway.
Who they suit
Easy Halloween puzzles suit children from six, October classrooms, and party guests who need a calm moment between games.
Printing
Print small Halloween grids on orange paper and lay them out on the party table with a pot of pencils. Answer keys come on their own sheets.
