What’s included?
This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one ‘October’ word search (page 1) with the answers included on page 2.

What’s it for?
This October word search includes October related vocabulary with images of nouns included (page 1), how many words are hidden and the direction of hidden words. The answers (page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden using coloured lines and directional arrows.

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 October words have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden words below the word search. There are x18 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).

Hidden 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
• yellow

Recommendations
We 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.

Important message…
Any issues with this resource please let us know - we are happy to make changes.

Other seasonal word searches including Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, months of the year and other seasonal events/celebrations such as Halloween are also available.
