Download and print this free September word search — 15 hidden words for the month school bells and cooler mornings take over, from a freshly sharpened PENCIL to the first sweater pulled out of storage. It’s a free PDF with the answer key included, sized for standard printer paper and built for back-to-school units, harvest festivals, and that first properly CRISP afternoon.
The word list is easy-to-medium: PENCIL, RECESS and LOCKER are quick wins for younger solvers, while EQUINOX, GOLDENROD and CLASSROOM give it a bit more bite. It suits ages 7 and up, and works nicely alongside a trip to APPLEPICKING or the first HAYRIDE of the season.
