Puzzle guide
About easy thanksgiving word search puzzles
What they are
Easy Thanksgiving word searches set out TURKEY, GRAVY, PIE and HARVEST in straight lines that run across and down, always forwards. Grids go from a 10×10 appetiser to a 20×20 feast holding up to 25 holiday words.
How to play
Pick a word from the list, find its first letter, and follow the row to the right or the column downward. Ring each word and tick it off before reaching for seconds.
Tips
CORNUCOPIA and CRANBERRY are long and easy to find first. Short words like PIE and YAMS are easiest to miss, so save them for the end when the grid is mostly circled.
Who they suit
Easy Thanksgiving puzzles suit children from six, November classrooms, and the kids' table while the turkey rests. Older siblings can read the list aloud while younger ones search, which turns the puzzle into a team effort.
Printing
Print one easy grid for each place setting so children have something to do before the meal. Each Thanksgiving puzzle has its own answer sheet.
