    October Fun

    The month of October has so many fun activities and October Holidays that are great to celebrate. Of course, the main fun fall activity of October is Halloween, but there can be all kinds of special days leading up to it.

    Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and changing leaf color. The autumn season is one of our favorites. The sweater weather gives us a free pass at slowing life down and spending time as a family inside.

    Spending time inside after spending time in the crisp Fall air is all kinds of fun and cozy. Grab a pumpkin hot chocolate and pull out some October puzzles, October Crafts, and October coloring pages, and have some family fun. Don't miss our Fall Crafts and Fall Printables as well!

    Word Searches For Kids

    Word searches are great learning tools for kids. They can help kids learn with sight words and vocabulary words. They have also been shown to help with anxiety and nerves as it gives them one thing to think about shutting out the rest of the world.

    For those not as familiar with word search puzzles, they are typically based around a theme, like the month of October. There is a list of themed words that are hidden in a group of letters.

    The object of the word searches is to find all the hidden words. They can be hidden from side to side, top to bottom, or diagonally.

    There are different difficulty levels for the word puzzles based on the length of the word, the number of letters on the puzzle page, and the number of words hidden diagonally (this tends to be harder for kids to find).

    Happy October Word Search Puzzle For Kids

    What is the fastest way to find words in word hunt?

    We definitely recommend scanning the puzzle from left to right starting at the top row and looking for the first letter of the hidden words. This will help with the words to find. It helps if you use your fingertip to scan the puzzle or the back of your pencil.

    Another helpful hint is if there is a word in the list of words that has letters that aren't used very often. Like q, x, z. These are often easy to spot.

    Also, look for the letter pairs once you up your skill level. If you are looking for the word "black cats", scan the puzzle for "bl".
