Puzzle guide
About kids thanksgiving word search puzzles
What they are
Kids Thanksgiving word searches use a 10×10 grid with big letters and ten short words such as PIE, ROLLS, ACORN, GRAVY and FEAST. All the words read across or down, so young children can manage without help.
How to play
Read each word together, spot its first letter, then look right or down for the rest. Draw a little autumn leaf next to each word on the list once it is found.
Tips
Start with PIE, which is short and familiar. Talking about what your family is thankful for as you search keeps young solvers engaged and fits the spirit of the day.
Who they suit
These suit children aged four to seven, preschool Thanksgiving crafts, and the youngest guests at the table. Each child can colour their finished grid and use it as a placemat at the holiday meal.
Printing
Kids Thanksgiving puzzles print one to a page in big type; a brown or orange crayon makes them feel seasonal. Answers print separately.
