Thanksgiving Word Search Worksheets

These Thanksgiving word searches give your class a calm, focused task for the busy week before the break. Each puzzle uses words kids hear all month, like turkey, pilgrim, harvest, parade and gravy, so they practice spelling while they talk about family traditions.

Pick the level that fits your students. The easy sheet keeps every word across or down on a small grid for kindergarten and first grade. The medium sheet adds diagonal words for second and third graders, and the hard sheet hides words in every direction, even backward. Every PDF ends with an answer key on its own page, so you can check work quickly or let early finishers check their own.
