Keep guest of all ages entertained with this printable Thanksgiving word search that includes answer key to ensure everyone gets all 12 words correct!

I have hosted Thanksgiving for over a decade now. I find that as it gets closer to our big dinner the kids begin to get antsy. Now that my children are in Elementary school and are starting to enjoy word searches I created this Printable Thanksgiving Word Search to keep them occupied and some of my other guest. Another fun activity for the kids is to make my pumpkin fishing game! This takes a little more time to construct, but makes for a fun educational game.

Word Search FAQs
I have started giving my kids a word search as early as age 5. I show them one simple 3-4 letter word and then give them another to spot. Over time they will feel more confident doing word searches.
Yes, for the adults I will make this word search into a game. Everyone will have their paper turned over so no one can start to look. I’ll start a timer and everyone will start at the same time.
