Thanksgiving Word Search for Kids {Free Printable}

It’s November, and that means that before we know it, it will be time for Thanksgiving!  I figured that meant that it was the perfect time to make a Thanksgiving word search printable, since I already had a general fall-themed word search printable on the site.

In the download, there are two versions of the Thanksgiving word search in order to make it better for a larger variety of ages. When I first offered this Thanksgiving word search printable set in 2015, I only had full-color versions available. This year, I have added a black and white option to save on your printer ink. It also creates a chance for kids to color in the title and the children on the side of the puzzle.

This year, I have also added a set of Thanksgiving word search printables that have the same puzzles and words, but have a Thanksgiving dinner theme in the coloring areas instead. One of the versions of that variation looks like this:

If you prefer to skip out on the coloring areas but still want to print the blackline versions, these word search puzzles could also be printed on festive colored papers instead of plain white paper.

These Thanksgiving word search puzzles are fun for personal use around the house, to have sitting out for kids to do at a family gathering, or even for use in a classroom while gearing up for Thanksgiving.

At home, another great whole family idea can be to start a Thanksgiving tablecloth tradition.

You could also use this super cute 3D Turkey Cutouts as a fun project turned centerpiece either at home or at school.  (Molly and I did a Thankful Turkey project using the 3D Turkey Cutout, which I really liked as a way to not only do something fun and hands-on, but also to work on counting our blessings and being thankful for them.)

Okay, after throwing in those fun Thanksgiving ideas for you, I’ll get back to the free Thanksgiving word search printables.
