Large Print Winter Word Search

Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes winter word search. Snow days, mittens and hot cocoa. A winter word search with no holiday words in it, so it works in any classroom from December through February.

The large print edition uses an 11×11 grid that fills a letter-size page, and words only run across, down or diagonally down.

All 20 words in this theme: Snowflake, Blizzard, Mittens, Scarf, Sled, Icicle, Frost, Cocoa, Snowball, Skating, Fireplace, Blanket, Penguin, Igloo, Shovel, Freezing, Boots, January, Snowplow, Polarbear.

Questions to share while solving, for activity groups, memory care or a visit with family:

• What is the most snow you remember seeing in one storm?
• Did you go sledding or ice skating as a child? Where?
• What did you wear to keep warm on the way to school?
• What is your favorite hot drink on a cold day?
• Did your home have a fireplace or a wood stove?

Activity tip: Pair the puzzle with mugs of cocoa on a snowy afternoon, and let early finishers help a neighbor by pointing to the row a word is in, not the word itself.
