Print a few copies for a holiday craft table, or keep one beside a cup of tea while cards and wrapping supplies are out.

Playing tips and a fun fact

Look for an unusual first letter before scanning a whole row. JOY and WREATH begin differently from many neighboring words, which can make them useful places to start. In a group, pair the page with an optional conversation about handmade ornaments. Some people may prefer simply to solve, and there is no need to ask anyone to share a personal celebration.

Evergreen trees keep foliage through the winter, although individual needles are still shed and replaced. That makes TREE and GARLAND a natural bridge to our winter and trees puzzles. For a longer session, use different difficulty levels at the same table and compare the word lists afterward rather than comparing finishing times.

Ideas to extend the activity

  • Sketch a handmade ornament.
  • Share a favorite seasonal song title.
  • Design a simple greeting card.
