Halloween Word Search PDF with Answers

No matter why you want them, whether you use them at home with your child during the holidays or in the classroom with your students it’s a fun activity for just about anyone. If you want to provide an answer sheet I would print 1 extra, use a highlighter to find them and when they are done they can refer to that to see if they were right.

How can you reuse printables year after year?

  1. You can slide each one into Sheet protectors or choose sticky laminating sheets
  2. Then Wet erase markers can be used to find words (in this case), and wiped clean when done
  3. Print out as many free word search printables as you need for the amount of children or students you have
  4. Slide each word search inside a sheet protector
  5. Give each child a wet erase marker so they can put a line through the words they find
  6. Then let them use a wet wipe to erase all their markings

    Store them away to use year after year during your spooky Halloween party. 😉

    What are some fun free games to play at a Halloween party?

    It is always fun to find free Halloween party games. I was a Teacher before I started blogging full time. I was always looking for holiday activities I could use in my classroom as well that didn’t cost me anything and I knew the kids would enjoy them. We have MORE free Halloween printables and activities here but you should use your imagination too. Think

    1. Use small cones with pool rings to throw around the top and see who gets the most points.
    2. Halloween Bingo is great and we offer 4 different versions so you can have multiple players.
    3. Use our printable Halloween scavenger hunt sheet for parties.
    4. You can watch the free Halloween televisions shows once all the fun is done to wind down!

      Even if you have older children or students everyone always loves a word search. If they are older you can make it a game or a contest to see who can find all the words first and they get a prize! Of course they can use a pencil or pen and draw a line thru the words they find but using colored highlighters makes it a bit more fun.

        We hope you have a fun and safe holiday and enjoy the games we’ve created too. Let us know what you think and how you used these free printables too!
