Vocabulary for the search

Recognize the theme vocabulary before scanning the grid. Examples include leaf, tree, acorn, chestnut, rain, wind. Follow the activity’s own list; these examples are conversation starters, not an inventory of every sheet.

After the activity

Compare the drawn leaves with your surroundings and identify similarities and differences. Observe autumn motifs such as leaves and fruits while remembering that seasonal changes depend on location.

Use a search method

Find a word’s first letter and check its next letter before following the whole sequence. Mark from the first letter to the last and cross the entry off the list. Words can share letters: finding one does not remove those cells from other searches.
