Frequently asked questions

Are these Halloween puzzles classroom safe?

Yes. The themes are friendly Halloween, not scary. Hidden words include PUMPKIN, GHOST, CANDY, BROOM, and WITCH. Most public schools, private schools, and homeschool co-ops use these as fall party activities.

What ages are these best for?

Ages 6 through adult. The word search uses common Halloween words that kids in first grade and up know. The sudoku is easy enough for ages 8 and up, or adults can solve quickly.

How many copies can I print?

Unlimited. Print as many copies as you need at no charge. Teachers, party hosts, scout leaders, and senior centers all print these in stacks. We only ask that you do not resell the pages.

Are these good for a Halloween party?

Yes. Print one puzzle per kid as a quiet activity station. Or fold them into a trick-or-treat goody bag as a non-candy add-on. Some parents print these instead of giving candy to friends with food allergies.

Will the words be too scary for young kids?

No. The puzzle uses friendly Halloween words. Nothing about death, blood, or fear. PUMPKIN, GHOST (cartoon-style), CANDY, BROOM, and BAT are the kind of words kids see in costumes and decorations.

Can I print this with the answer key on the back?

Yes. If your printer supports duplex (double-sided) printing, the puzzle and answer key print back to back. Otherwise the answer key comes out on a second sheet you can fold under.
