Thanksgiving Fill-In Word Puzzle

Can you place each of the words related to Thanksgiving Day into the Thanksgiving Fill-In Word Puzzle?

As a child, I always loved the logic of completing a fill-in puzzle. I think the reason I enjoy puzzles like this so much is because it relies on pure logical thinking and reasoning instead of having to solve cryptic crossword clues.

Lately, I’ve been creating various fill-in puzzles for my students to use as early finisher activities. Previously, I’ve shared a Jobs that Use Mathematics Puzzle as well as some seasonal fill-in puzzles:

Instructions

Place each of the provided words related to Thanksgiving Day in the grid exactly one time each. One letter must be placed in each box.

Using This Puzzle in the Classroom

I have started using these fill-in puzzles as one of the options for my students who are early finishers to choose from.

I usually pair a printable puzzle like this with a pentomino puzzle and a number puzzle with movable pieces. If you are looking for more Thanksgiving puzzles, I suggest checking out the Thanksgiving Square Edge Matching Puzzle, the Thanksgiving Triples Puzzle, the Triangular Turkey Puzzle, or my Thanksgiving Mystery Tangram Puzzle.

I hang the puzzles each week on my dry erase board inside one of my Charles Leonard magnetic pockets.

Puzzle Solutions

I intentionally do not make answers to the printable math puzzles I share on my blog available online because I strive to provide learning experiences for my students that are non-google-able. I would like other teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms as well without the solutions being easily found on the Internet.

However, I do recognize that us teachers are busy people and sometimes need to quickly reference an answer key to see if a student has solved a puzzle correctly or to see if they have interpreted the instructions properly.

If you are a teacher who is using these puzzles in your classroom, please send me an email at sarah@mathequalslove.net with information about what you teach and where you teach. I will be happy to forward an answer key to you.

Not a teacher? Go ahead and send me an email as well. Just let me know what you are using the puzzles for. I am continually in awe of how many people are using these puzzles with scouting groups, with senior adults battling dementia, as fun activities in their workplace, or as a birthday party escape room.
