Christmas Word Search Shapes: 12 Picture Puzzles

12 Christmas word searches in one PDF, each grid cut into a holiday picture: a tree, a star, a gingerbread house, a snowflake, a wreath, a heart and more, with cookies, lights, snow days and wrapping paper inside.

Twelve Christmas word searches in one printable PDF, and every grid is shaped like a holiday picture, from a Christmas tree to a gingerbread house. Each page has 10 or 11 words and an answer key at the back. Use the easy pages with early readers, the medium ones with older kids and adults, and hand out a different shape to each table so nobody copies a neighbor.

What is a Puzzle Pack?

A puzzle pack is a single PDF that bundles 12 different puzzles around one educational theme. Instead of one puzzle per download, you get a full booklet of word searches, word scrambles, cryptograms, and fill-ins, all in one file.

How to solve it

Download the pack, print the whole PDF, and play the puzzles in any order. Every puzzle is self-contained, and the answer keys are grouped together at the back of the file, labeled by puzzle number.

Who is this for?

Packs are ideal for teachers building a themed unit, parents who want a long activity set, road trips, rainy days, and anyone who wants a whole session of learning-rich puzzles from a single free download.
