Thanksgiving Gratitude Word Search: Free Printable, Large Print
A gentler Thanksgiving puzzle built around the words of the season rather than the food: thankful, generous, together, home. It makes a calm activity for a quiet afternoon, and the word list doubles as a prompt for sharing what you are grateful for.
Easy: 12 x 12 grid, extra large print
12 words that read across or down only. Big letters with plenty of space, and a tick box beside each word.
Medium: 15 x 15 grid, large print
All 18 words, running across, down or diagonally. No backwards words.
How to print
Open the PDF for your paper size and print at 100% / Actual size (not “fit to page”) for the biggest letters. Every sheet keeps a half-inch margin, so it prints cleanly on home printers. The answer key is a separate file.
