Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
This word search hides 13 fall and Halloween words in a 13 by 13 grid. Words run across, down, and diagonally up or down, never backward. Every word appears exactly once, and the filler letters were checked against a list of words that should never turn up on a classroom page.
Page 2 puts the words to work: Section B asks students to finish eight sentences with a word from the bank, and Section C asks for two sentences of their own. Page 3 is the answer key, with every hidden word outlined and a list of where each word starts.
It comes in two editions: a color PDF, whose answer key outlines each word in orange, and a low-ink black-and-white PDF for everyday copying.
How to Use This Lesson
Read the word bank together and talk about any new words, such as gourd.
Find and circle each word, checking it off in the word bank.
Finish the sentences in Section B and write two of your own in Section C.
Check the puzzle and both sections against page 3.
