Spanish Christmas vocabulary practice
This Spanish Christmas word search includes NAVIDAD, REGALO, ESTRELLA, VILLANCICO, TURRON, POSADA and REYES MAGOS. Accents are dropped in the grid (as in most printed sopas de letras), but the word list keeps them easy to read. Print the answer key (resuelto) for quick checking.
For Spanish teachers
Paste your unit vocabulary in step 1 and you have a custom Spanish holiday word search in seconds. Ask students to write the English meaning next to each word for an extra challenge, or make a bilingual puzzle by mixing Spanish and English words.
Spanish word search ideas by level

Traditions behind the words
Las Posadas, el Día de Reyes and turrón are part of Christmas across Spain and Latin America — a short discussion before the puzzle makes the vocabulary stick.
