How to Play the Thanksgiving Word Search
Press on the first letter of a word and drag to its last letter, or tap the first letter and slide your finger across. When the highlighted line matches a word in the list, it turns green and the word is crossed off with a short clue from the Bible. Words can be hidden across, down or on a diagonal, and some are written backwards. Tap New Puzzle for a fresh grid with the same words in new places.
The Words in This Puzzle
All 16 words come from the Bible's teaching on thanks and harvest: the harvest feasts (Tabernacles, booths, firstfruits), the story of Ruth and Boaz gleaning barley, the manna in the wilderness, the grapes from Canaan, and the Samaritan who returned to thank Jesus in Luke 17. After you find a word, read its clue and think about where it appears in Scripture.
Using the Word Search at Home, Church or School
Put the puzzle on a screen for a class or a family gathering and let people point out the words they find. Pair it with the Thanksgiving Bible quiz or the Thanksgiving crossword for a short activity before a meal, or try the regular Bible Word Search all year round.
