Puzzle guide
About kids halloween word search puzzles
What they are
Kids Halloween word searches use a 10×10 grid with extra-large letters and ten short, friendly words such as BAT, CAT, MASK, MOON and CANDY. All words run across or down, so the only scary thing is how fast little ones finish.
How to play
Read each word together, find the first letter in the grid, and then look right or down for the rest. Draw a tiny pumpkin next to each word on the list once it is found.
Tips
Begin with CAT or BAT, which use letters most children already know. If a word seems hidden, read the grid row by row like the pages of a book. Children who finish early can draw their own friendly monster in the margin while the others catch up.
Who they suit
These suit children aged four to seven, preschool Halloween parties, and calm-down time before trick-or-treating begins.
Printing
Kids Halloween grids print one to a page in large type that is easy to colour. Keep the separate answers handy for helpers.
