Harvest themes anchor this first medium Thanksgiving crossword, where eleven answers cross in a 10x11 grid. The words range from carving the bird and the tart cranberry sauce to the cornucopia's horn of plenty and the black-hatted Pilgrim of 1621, with a nod to the venison likely served at the first feast. Medium difficulty brings longer entries and some genuinely thoughtful crossings, right for grades four and up.
It slots into a November history unit, a sub folder for the short holiday week, or a grown-ups' table conversation starter about the first feast. Run off the blank grid and clues with Print Puzzle on letter or A4 paper, keep the solved grid handy via Print Answer Key, which prints on its own page, and choose Save as PDF in the print dialog if you prefer a digital copy. Finish the feast, then serve the second medium Thanksgiving crossword or sample the rest of our printable crossword collection.
