Christmas Word Search, Large Print
A free seven-page PDF of large-print Christmas word searches: four original puzzles with big letters, no backward words, and full solutions in the back.
What is in this pack
These four word searches are new for this page. They are not the same puzzles as the ones in our Christmas puzzle sampler, which also includes Sudoku and short mystery cases. Here you get a focused set of word searches only, with one large grid on each page.
The themes are a cookie exchange, shop window lights, the spare room where guests stay, and a carol on the doorstep. Each 15 by 15 grid hides 15 words, from SHORTBREAD and COOLING RACK to GARLAND, SUITCASE, and DOORBELL. Words run left to right, top to bottom, or diagonally down to the right. Nothing is hidden backward or upward. Spaces are left out of the grid, so WAX PAPER appears as WAXPAPER. Each listed word appears exactly once.
How to print and enjoy the hunt
Print the PDF on US Letter paper at 100 percent, or Actual size, so the letters stay large. Do not choose Fit to page. A highlighter or felt-tip pen is often easier to see than a pencil, especially if more than one person works on the same page. You may print copies for family, a classroom, a church or community group, or an activity program. Please do not sell the file.
A short how-to is on the second page, and the last page has every solution with the words circled. Start with the longest words, then look for uncommon letters. Tick each word off the list as you find it. There is no timer. A few words with a cup of tea, or a whole puzzle on a December evening, both count as finishing well.
