About this worksheet
Twelve words about being thankful hide across, down and diagonally in a 12 by 12 grid: THANKFUL, KIND, SHARE, FAMILY, FRIENDS, HELP, LOVE, HUG, SMILE, CARE, GIVE and TEACHER. A calm November puzzle that also starts a conversation: who helped you this week? The answer key is on page 2. First graders can do it on their own once they know the strategy at the top of the page.
Tips for using it
- Pull a three-page packet per child for the short school week: one math page, one word puzzle and one gratitude page at their level.
- Print the answer keys (page 2) once and clip them to a folder so early finishers can check their own work.
- For a mixed-age family table, give every child the same activity at a different level: the picture word search for the five-year-old, the dinner table word search for the nine-year-old.
- Print the place cards and the placemat the evening before; children who color the table decorations feel like hosts.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
