Free Fall Word Search Printable for Kids
These fall word search puzzles are a fun way to gear up for the fall season! My own two kids absolutely love completing word searches, especially when they come with fun themes!
Since my two girls are five years apart in age, I designed two separate fall word searches: a smaller puzzle with easy words and a larger one with more challenging terms.
They are both easy to access and print as a PDF files. Each autumn word search is full of your favorite fall words and is perfect for use in classrooms or at home. You can even print the accompanying answer key for each word search puzzle!
Easy Fall Word Search
This easy word search is full of fall-themed words that are perfect for use in Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade classrooms. It includes hidden words related to the fall season and also provides graphics similar to a coloring page.
The word bank for the easy fall word search includes terms like:
- fall
- autumn
- hay
- farm
- rake
- pumpkin
- acorn
- harvest
- school
- apple
- leaf
When introducing this word search to students, I recommend discussing the new words with them, so they have a clear understanding of the meaning of unfamiliar words. This allows you to utilize the word puzzles as an educational tool as well as a great activity in the classroom.
Challenging Word Searches
The challenging word search is perfect for older kids in 3rd grade and above. This word puzzle includes longer words as well as letter orders that are harder to find. In addition to forwards and backwards letter patterns, you’ll also notice diagonal words in this puzzle.
The terms in this more difficult fall word search include things like:
- autumn
- hay bale
- pine cone
- foliage
- harvest
- apples
- hayride
- cider
- football
- jacket
- corn maze
- brisk
- flannel
- haunted house
- pumpkin patch
- leaves
