About this worksheet
A Christmas dinner table in a 12 by 12 word search: TURKEY, HAM, GRAVY, PIE, ROLLS, EGGNOG, FUDGE, CIDER, PUDDING, COOKIES, CANDY and COCOA, hidden across, down and diagonally. Twelve words for first and second graders, with the solution on page 2. First graders can do it on their own once they know the strategy at the top of the page. Red, green and gold make a classic Christmas palette.
Tips for using it
- Add white for snow.
- Make a three-page packet per child: one word search, one maze and one math or reading page at their level. It fills a quiet 20 minutes.
- Print the answer keys once and keep them in a folder; the kids can check their own word searches and mazes.
- For a mixed-age family, give everyone the same theme at a different level: the picture word search for the 5-year-old, the Christmas Challenge word search for the 9-year-old.
Printing tips
