Halloween Games and Activities

This is a simple puzzle game that uses words of 9 letters. The letters from the word are arranged in a square of 9 boxes in word order, but not starting in the first square. You can enjoy these puzzles on your own, or use them in a party game.

To play in a party, print 3 or more of the following puzzles and give a copy to each of your guests:

• 9SquareMonsterSearch1.pdf
• 9SquareMonsterSearch2.pdf
• 9SquareMonsterSearch3.pdf
• 9SquareMonsterSearch4.pdf
• 9SquareMonsterSearch5.pdf

Whoever solves all of the puzzles in the quickest amount of time gets a prize.

Alternately you could place these puzzles on a chalkboard if you’d like to save paper.

Try making your own puzzles, but be warned: 9 letter words aren’t all that common. You’ll notice each of the words in the puzzles I’ve put above are pluralized.
