Vocabulary for the search

Recognize the theme vocabulary before scanning the grid. Examples include harvest, table, corn, pumpkin, turkey, thanks. Follow the activity’s own list; these examples are conversation starters, not an inventory of every sheet.

After the activity

Write down an everyday thing you appreciate or invent a shared-meal scene; customs and dates vary by place. Use harvest, shared-table and gratitude motifs for a Thanksgiving activity without treating a picture as a summary of its history.

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.
