Our easy gingerbread word search includes ICING, GUMDROP, CANDY, FROSTING, HOUSE and ROOF. Pair the sheet with decorating a gingerbread man or building a gingerbread house, and ask children to spot the decorations they used. For a Christmas candy word search of your own, edit the list to add candy cane, peppermint and other favorite sweets.
A hard Christmas dinner word search
The 18×18 dinner puzzle hides 20 dishes and desserts in all eight directions, including backwards. Look for ROAST TURKEY, YORKSHIRE PUDDING, BRUSSELS SPROUTS and CHRISTMAS PUDDING. Spaces disappear inside the grid while the word list keeps dish names readable. Find more challenges on our hard Christmas word search page.
