About this worksheet
An easy Thanksgiving word search for first graders and strong kindergartners: ten harvest words (PUMPKIN, BASKET, CANDLE, FEATHER, SQUIRREL, CORN, OWL, APPLE, ROLL, SCARECROW) hidden only across and down in a 10 by 10 grid, and every word in the word bank has a colored picture. A step up from the 7-word picture word search. The answer key with every word marked 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
