Students will find eight Thanksgiving words in a picture word search and spell each one by writing its missing letter.

Lesson Overview

About this worksheet

This word search hides 8 Thanksgiving words in a 10 by 10 grid of big letters. Every word runs across or down, never backward or on a slant, which is the right first puzzle for young readers. Pictures under the puzzle show each word, so a child who is still learning to read knows what to look for.

Page 2 is a spelling page: students write the missing letter in each of the eight words and then write the whole word, with the word bank printed again at the top. Page 3 is the answer key.

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 aloud together, pointing to each picture.

Find and circle each word. Words go across and down.

Write the missing letter in each word on page 2.

Check the puzzle and the missing letters against page 3.
