Thanksgiving Crossword Puzzle

Thanksgiving Crossword PuzzleThanksgiving Crossword Puzzle

This Thanksgiving crossword puzzle is a fun little activity to have ready when kids need something to do before the turkey hits the table! Thanksgiving can be a busy day, so I love having simple printables on hand that can keep kids happily occupied without adding one more thing to my to-do list.

The puzzle is filled with Thanksgiving-themed clues and familiar words inspired by the holiday. Kids get to put their thinking caps on while working their way through the answers—and maybe even learn a new word or two along the way.

I especially like this one for that stretch of time when dinner is cooking and everyone is waiting (not always patiently!) to eat. Print a few copies for the kids’ table, use it as a classroom activity before Thanksgiving break, or add it to your November homeschool plans.

Just add pencils, and you’ve got an easy Thanksgiving activity ready to go!
