Fall Word Searches

Puzzles for autumn, from the first cool morning to the last leaf. The Fall list holds the season's own words, the Pumpkin puzzle runs from the patch to the pie, Apples and Apple Picking cover the orchard, Leaves the trees, and Scarecrows and the Hayride the farm; the harvest, the first weeks back at school and the football season join them from their own collections.

Leaves change color because trees stop making chlorophyll, the green pigment that captures sunlight, as the days shorten. The yellows and oranges were in the leaf all summer, hidden under the green; the reds are new, made in autumn from sugars trapped in the leaf.
