Large Print Halloween Word Search

Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes halloween word search. Jack-o’-lanterns, costumes and a bag full of candy. A Halloween word search that is spooky enough to be fun but never scary, so it works for a second-grade party and for grown-ups on the hard setting.

The large print edition uses an 11×11 grid that fills a letter-size page, and words only run across, down or diagonally down.

All 20 words in this theme: Pumpkin, Costume, Witch, Ghost, Skeleton, Vampire, Mummy, Zombie, Candy, Treat, Trick, Lantern, Broomstick, Cauldron, Spider, Cobweb, Haunted, October, Werewolf, Moonlight.

Questions to share while solving, for activity groups, memory care or a visit with family:

• What was the best costume you ever wore, and who made it?
• Did you go trick-or-treating, and what treat did you hope for most?
• Did your family carve pumpkins? Who did the carving?
• What was your favorite scary story or movie?
• What candy do you still associate with Halloween?

Activity tip: Set out a small bowl of wrapped candy as prizes and read one finished word aloud each time someone circles it, so slower solvers can keep up.
