How to use this word search

Across and down, forwards only. Circle each complete word and cross it off the list. Letters may belong to more than one word.

The eight-word list includes PUMPKIN, GHOST and SPIDER. All paths are forwards across or down, so a reader can concentrate on matching the spelling. Read unfamiliar Halloween vocabulary before searching and offer a starting row when help is wanted.

After the activity

Use the page at a gathering that welcomes a Halloween theme. Draw a pumpkin or choose a costume word for a short story; participation can stay optional.

Print a clear copy

Choose US Letter for 8.5 × 11-inch paper, or A4 for 210 × 297 mm paper. Both editions contain the same activity and matching answers. Use portrait orientation and actual size. Page 1 is the activity; keep page 2 aside for checking. Print one sample before making classroom copies.
