Easy Thanksgiving word search

Turkey, pie, corn and gravy for the youngest guests at the table. Nothing is diagonal or backwards in this ten by ten grid, so small children can find all ten words alone while dinner cooks.

About this word search

Small children at a big family meal often finish eating long before the adults do. A sheet with ten short words keeps them close to the table without reaching for a screen.

Pie and Corn make good first finds because they are short and easy to sound out. Show how a word starts with its first letter and carries on to the right or straight down, as nothing in this grid goes any other way. Family and Autumn are longer, so a grown-up may need to read them out.

When all ten are found, ask your child to point at the real things on the table: the gravy, the corn, the pie. Leaves can be gathered on a walk the next morning and stuck onto a thank-you card.

  • At home and on the go
