Vocabulary for the search

Recognize the theme vocabulary before scanning the grid. Examples include pumpkin, ghost, costume, bat, moon, hat. Follow the activity’s own list; these examples are conversation starters, not an inventory of every sheet.

After the activity

Create a friendly character by combining two motifs and describe its features without needing frightening elements. Play with Halloween motifs and choose a fantasy tone that suits the group.

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.
