Wordsearch - October, x18 words to find

What’s included?
This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one ‘October’ word search (page 1). The answers on page 2 clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) to promote autonomy whilst providing easy comparison/quick reference.

Other seasonal wordsearches including Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, Halloween and other seasonal celebrations are also available in my TES shop.

Who’s it for?
This word search has been designed for pupils in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support.

Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font.

The September words have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden words below the word search. There are x16 words to find in total and nouns are illustrated on page 1.

These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards). Words to find are; ‘autumn’, ‘clocks back’ (no space), diwali, halloween, libra, marigold (flower), opal, scorpio, deer, jay, nuts, rut, seeds, gold, leaf, orange, red and yellow.

Recommendations
I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.
