Thanksgiving Word Search Printable

Looking for an easy and fun activity to do with your family this Thanksgiving Day? This free printable Thanksgiving Word Search is the perfect solution – simply print and play! It’s a fun way for everyone to get into the holiday spirit while the Thanksgiving food is cooking!

Seek and find eighteen hidden words and phrases in this fun word search for kids and adults! We recommend this word search for elementary aged children and older kids since it’s a little bit more challenging than some of our other word search printables. Of course, younger children can play, too, but they may need a little adult assistance! (Don’t worry, we’ve also included an answer sheet in case you get stuck!)

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WORD SEARCH PUZZLES?

Word search puzzles are a great workout for your brain! Word searches have proven to be beneficial in helping with spelling skills, vocabulary, and teaching children how to assess context clues. They help your brain filter words into recognizable patterns which in turn helps you to find order and create meaning from everything around you. Word searches and similar word scramble puzzles have also been proven to help increase memory retention and concentration in people of all ages. Oh, and did I mention that they’re also a TON of fun, too?!

If you want to add an extra level of excitement and competition, set a timer and try to beat the clock, or race your friends to see who can complete their Thanksgiving puzzle the quickest!
