Okay, let's have some fun with autumn words. I love playing word games and I love creating word games for kids to play. We've made all kinds of free printable games for kids and families to play. Be sure to check out our Halloween printable word games. Do you like playing word games too? Whether you are a homeschooler, a teacher in a school, or a parent looking for educational resources for your kids, this set of fall word games is perfect for you.
Why are word games great for kids?
Word games are great for kids because they help kids focus on sounds and letters, and develop skills they need for reading and writing. They are a fun way to introduce kids to simple vocabulary words, in this case, words we commonly associate with fall.

Fall Word Search
It is best to start with the word search game. This game will introduce the fall words to the child and searching for the words will give the child the opportunity to discover all the letters in the words and sound them out as they search. We also have a printable fall word search answer key.
Fall Word Jumble
Next up is the fall word jumble or word scramble game. This game is a little more challenging than the word search. Kids will have to unscramble the fall words and write the words on the line provided. This game reinforces the spelling of the words. Again, we have a printable fall word jumble answer worksheet, if you need it.
Fall Crossword Puzzle
Finally, my favorite is our fall crossword puzzle. I love a good crossword puzzle. Our fall crossword puzzle has questions for kids and the answers are the words they need to complete the puzzle. I've also included images of most of the words, to help a little. And, these are the same words they've been working with in the other games, so we are using repetition to reinforce the learning. Again, if you need a little extra help coming up with the answers, we have a printable fall crossword puzzle answer key.
How to Play Word Games with Kids
These games are great for the home classroom or a schoolroom. Depending on the age of the kids playing these games you can make them more challenging by using a timer. Give an allotted time to the kids to work through the word search and jumble. I love packing printable games in my car's glovebox and pulling them out when we are on long road trips. You know the drive to grandma's house is a whole lot more fun with a clipboard full of games to play. And, finally, why not print a copy for everyone who is attending your Thanksgiving dinner? Place a sheet and a pencil at each place setting.
