Chilly Winter Word Games for Kids

By Jen

The snow is falling and you need a quick little activity to keep the kids busy. Or, you're curled up by the fire and are looking for a fun winter activity for yourself. You know I love creating printable word games. These printable winter word games are exactly what you're looking for. A fun winter crossword puzzle, winter word search, and winter word jumble game.

I love easy word games. I complete a crossword puzzle every night before I go to bed. I find completing simple word games a relaxing way to pass the time. I also love how great playing word games is for kids. And, our winter games are great fun for the classroom too. I know teachers are always looking for simple (and free) activities for their students. They are a whole lot of fun and also educational. All require kids to read and they will have kids writing too.

_free printable winter word search game for kids and winter word search answer sheet

First up, I always love starting with a winter word search game. Our winter word search sheet is filled with familiar winter words to search for. Starting with the word search will help kids of all ages learn the words, practice spelling, and read these simple winter words. Use our favorite winter pencil to circle the words as you find them. As always, we have also created a printable winter word search answer sheet, so you can quickly see where all the words are hiding.

Next up is our printable winter word jumble game. A word jumble is a little more challenging than a word search. Players have to look at the letters and work to unscramble the letters to form some of the same words you found in the word search. Word jumbles are great for kids who are working on learning letter sounds and writing words. We also have a printable winter word jumble answer key if you need a little assistance.

Finally, we have our printable winter crossword puzzle. Again, we are reinforcing the same winter words we have used in the other games. This is helpful for early readers. Use the clues to fill in the crossword puzzle with wintery words. And of course, we have a winter crossword puzzle answer sheet.

Fun Ways to Play With Winter Word Games

Okay, you have printed our winter word games and now you are wondering how to maximize the fun. There are a few different ways you play with these printable games. These games are perfect for long winter road trips. Keep a printed copy in your car and pull it out when you are stuck in a snow traffic jam. A fun way to pass the time and beat car boredom.

Another fun way to play is to involve everyone in the family. Place a copy on everyone's place at the dinner table and take some time to play before dinner. Especially fun for big family gatherings.

Of course, our printable winter word games are great for the classroom. Whether it's a snowy recess or taking time to add these games to your winter literacy unit. Kids at various learning levels will benefit from playing these games.

My favorite way to play is to cuddle up under a cozy blanket, with a cup of tea and play on a snowy evening. Yes, even adults can play with our word games.

Don't forget to color the puzzles! Yes, they are designed to also be used as winter coloring sheets. And, who doesn't love a coloring sheet?!
