About this worksheet
Twelve words about how families spend December hide across, down and diagonally in a 12 by 12 grid: ADVENT, CAROLS, COCOA, PAJAMAS, BAKING, GARLAND, MISTLETOE and more. A good puzzle to talk about your own traditions while you search. Key on page 2. It matches first grade goals, roughly ages 6 to 7. Add white for snow.
Tips for using it
- Red, green and gold make a classic Christmas palette.
- 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
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
