If you're looking for a cool way to enjoy a simple yet fun holiday activity to use with kids this Halloween Day (October 31st), you'll love this fun Halloween word search that's not too spooky. Based on this holiday, your kids will have a blast searching and locating Halloween words. It's a great way to easily enjoy holiday fun activities with kids.

I've always loved word search puzzles. Well, really any word puzzle 😉

And I was recently thrilled to discover that my boys have started to enjoy this hobby. There are so many benefits of word search puzzles (like spelling skills, vocabulary skills, and more). (I share a few of my ideas on the benefits of word searches over at our Free Fall Fun Word Search.)

These word puzzles are excellent ways to provide kids with ways to improve spelling. Plus, these activities are wonderful brain breaks and boredom busters!

This Halloween Fun Bundle is a super easy, print-and-go way to enjoy special holiday activities with your kids.

Since my boys have been bitten by the word puzzle bug, I thought it would be fun to add a Halloween-themed word search to our list of activities to celebrate the holiday.

Great Ideas for Using This Halloween Activity with Kids

Maybe you think a word search sounds a bit boring?

Sure, not everyone thinks a word search is fun. But, that doesn't mean you can't use a few ideas to make it more exciting with this great activity 😉

Let your kids use different types of writing utensils. Highlighters, markers, even Kwik Stix, are fabulous ways to make your Halloween Fun Word Search fun and colorful.
Give your child a timer to see how long it takes to complete the word search.
Work with your child to finish the word puzzle together.
Pair up participants to make it an interactive experience!
Encourage your child to spell the words out loud for fun spelling practice.
Provide a Halloween-themed sticker, stamp, pencil, eraser, or glow stick when the word search is done.
Challenge your kids to think of different words and add to the back of the paper
Extend the learning fun by using as vocabulary words (add definitions to back of paper)

Older kids can help younger kids find the first letter of these Halloween fun words (like candy, monster, and vampire). If your younger kids would prefer to independently work, you can go through with a highlighter and highlight first letters.

If you'd like to make it a fun activity for a group, take turns searching for and circling the hidden words.
