Easy Halloween Word Search Printables Post Preview: This set of easy word find printables is a great Halloween activity for elementary-aged kids. Each puzzle features eight words on a Halloween theme plus a picture of the same theme to color afterward.
It seems like October just started and now we’re already just about half way through the month. I’m really not sure how that happened, but here we are.
I’m looking forward to the last half of the month because it will include celebrating Christmas with my family. (Yes, Christmas in October. But, when you’re spread out, you do it when it works.) I’m also gearing up to see Hamilton: An American Musical for the sixth time. (Yeah, I know. It’s ridiculous. I just love it.)
Of course, I know a lot of you are probably looking forward to the end of the month for Halloween. That seems more reasonable than for Christmas or a sixth time seeing Hamilton.
So, for all of you gearing up for Halloween (and not Christmas), I have a set of free Easy Halloween Word Search Printables today.
Note: The text links to download the word search printables are toward the end of this post. There is also a link for each individual puzzle in the section of this post about that printable.

Easy Halloween Word Search Printables for Kids
If you love word finds and you’re a regular reader, you probably already know that there are a ton of free word search printables here. They cover lots of different topics and there are several different levels of difficulty amongst the word searches. There is a little something for everyone.
However, as I mentioned earlier, these Easy Halloween Word Search Printables are part of a small series of fall-related word finds that I have been posting this autumn. All of these word search puzzles are easy with small puzzle areas and just eight search words. You’ll also find the word search portion within whatever shape they are about and it can be colored afterward, so they’re like two activities in one.
These Halloween-themed puzzles include pictures and the following themes: pumpkins, witches, costumes (with a ghost costume), trick or treating, and spiders.
If you’re looking for some more general fall word search printables, you might like this Fall-themed Word Search Printable that is larger and great for older kids and adults. If it’s specifically for children (especially elementary-aged children), you might also like the Easy Fall Word Search Printable Set.
What’s Included in the Easy Halloween Word Search Printables?
Toward the bottom of the post, you will find text links for downloading five different word finds that are all related to Halloween. (There is also a text link to download each printable in the section of the post about that printable.) They are all free, so you can download one or you can download all five.
Each puzzle has eight search words plus a picture to color. (One puzzle has seven words.)
You can print on white paper and kids can color in the picture after they find all of the words. Or, you can print this on fun festive papers instead and not offer the option of coloring.

Hi there,
I think your Trick or Treat Word Search might have an error. There doesn’t seem to be the word GUM.
It took a bit for me to have time to fix it, but I figured it was after Halloween anyway, so that was okay. I looked, and you were right – the woman who made it for me left off gum. I think she had a spot for it but then made it hum instead of gum. But I got it fixed up now. 🙂
