Who these puzzles are for
For family gatherings, holiday programs in senior living and day centers, church groups and classrooms. The words stay with decorations, treats and traditions, and every one is a plain, everyday word that is easy to read aloud.
Ideas for using them
Set a stack of mixed levels on the party table and let each guest choose the one that suits them. Nobody has to be told which is the easy one. Hand out a different colored pencil to each person. When the page is done, the colors show who found what. On a Hard puzzle, remind everyone that words can run backwards. Looking for the last letter of a word first is often the quickest way in. Which level to choose
Easy (8 × 8 grid, 6 words): words go across and down only. A good place to start, and the right choice for a group with mixed eyesight or memory.Medium (10 × 10 grid, 8 words): words also run on the slant. A relaxed challenge for most people.Hard (12 × 12 grid, 10 words): words go every which way, backwards too. Fun for keen puzzlers, and still in large print.The letters are printed bold and large, 20 points or bigger even on the Hard grid, with a box beside each word to tick when you find it.
Printing tips In the print window, choose Letter or A4 paper. Both are set up to fit, and each puzzle always fits on one page. Leave the scale at 100% (“Default” or “Actual size”), and turn Headers and footers off, so the page is clean. Black and white is fine. The answer key uses bold type rather than color, so it still reads clearly on a plain printer. The answer key is always the second page. Ask the printer for page 1 only if you want to keep it back. The words in these puzzles
Each puzzle uses some of these 39 everyday words: santa, reindeer, sleigh, tinsel, wreath, stocking, presents, carols, candles, ornament, mistletoe, holly, ivy, angel, star, manger, snowman, gingerbread, cookies, eggnog, chimney, fireplace, garland, lights, bells, ribbon, wrapping, gifts, tree, candy, christmas, family, joy, peace, elves, workshop, festive, celebrate, midnight.
