Description
Word Search with Vocabulary about Santa Claus in English.
This activity contains the following 12 words and phrases: chimney, Christmas, elves, gift, North Pole, reindeer, Rudolf, sack, Santa Claus, sleigh, stocking, toys.
There are two versions of this word search. One version is with the clues at the top of the worksheet. The other version does not have the clues. There are 12 lines where students need to write the Santa vocabulary that they find. This is great for students that are fast finishers.
The words they need to find only appear horizontally or vertically (no words are diagonal). An answer sheet is included so that students can check their own work.
Notice how the design of the word search itself (where all the jumbled letters are) is in the shape of a Christmas tree.

Christmas Word Search
Ho Ho Ho, Santa Clause is commin’. Can you believe Santa can make it around the entire planet in 24 hours? And he does it every Christmas, making over a billion stops along the way to distribute gifts to deserving children. And he’s incredibly busy before Christmas too, making special appearances and talking to kids at malls around the world.
I’m always looking for ways to improve my games. If you have any ideas, please feel free to Suggest an Improvement.
Thanks for your help,
