Thanksgiving Parade and Football Word Search

Combine two Thanksgiving viewing traditions in a puzzle about parades and football. The vocabulary describes general sights and actions, with no team names, league names, or branded characters. It suits families taking a break between broadcasts or students comparing the words used for different public events. Find the marching terms and game terms in the same grid, then separate them into two groups on another sheet of paper. Some words may prompt a useful explanation from someone who knows the sport or plays in a band. Search forward across, down, and diagonally to complete the list.
