How to use it in class
- Pick a list and a level. Easy for kindergarten to second grade, medium for third to fifth, hard for older kids and adults.
- Print or share. Print one sheet and photocopy it, or tap Copy link and post it in your class page so every student opens the same grid.
- Race or relax. Turn on the timer for a quick challenge, or leave it off for a calm morning activity.
- Check answers fast. Leave Answer key page ticked; it prints the same grid with every word circled on a second page.
- Make it personal. Choose My own words and type your students' names, this week's spelling words or a reading vocabulary list.
| Level | Grid | Words | Directions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 8 脳 8 | 8 | Across and down |
| Medium | 12 脳 12 | 12 | Across, down and diagonally |
| Hard | 15 脳 15 | 16 | All eight directions, backwards too |
The word lists
- Christmas: Santa, reindeer, stocking, gingerbread, candy cane, mistletoe and more.
- Winter: snowflake, mittens, igloo, blizzard, polar bear, cocoa.
- Holiday: family, feast, kindness, confetti, new year. No religious words, for classrooms that keep the season general.
- Santa's workshop: elves, workbench, teddy bear, dollhouse, yo-yo, toolbox.
Each puzzle draws its words from the list at random, so a new puzzle usually has a different mix. Every word appears exactly once in the grid.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Christmas word search free to print?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need for your class or family. The sheet fits US Letter and A4 paper, and you can add an answer key page.
Can the whole class do the same puzzle?
Yes. Tap Copy link and share it. Everyone who opens the link gets the same grid and the same words, on a Chromebook, tablet or phone.
Which level suits my students?
Easy is an 8 by 8 grid with words across and down, good for kindergarten to second grade. Medium is 12 by 12 and adds diagonals. Hard is 15 by 15 with words in all eight directions, backwards too.
Can I use my own words?
Yes. Pick My own words, then type a word per line, such as your students' names or spelling words. Each word must fit the grid: up to 8 letters on easy, 12 on medium and 15 on hard.
Is there a version without religious words?
Yes. The Holiday list is about family, parties, music and the new year, and the Winter list is about snow and cold weather. Neither has religious words.
