Christmas Word Searches

Try these free printable Christmas word searches to help improve your child’s visual perceptual skills! These nativity word searches are suitable for a range of ages.

Looking for objects in a busy background can help your child to develop better figure-ground perception and learn to pay attention to visual details. Word searches are a good way to work on this skill, as your child needs to pick out the correct letters from the busy background of other letters.

If your child is very young or if visual discrimination and figure-ground perception skills are poor, then choose a word search with fewer letters, larger letters and more space between the letters.

As your child's skills improve, you can offer word searches with more, smaller letters and a more crowded grid.

Many word searches use capitals, but I have chosen to create all my free printable Christmas word searches using lower case letters, as this can help to develop reading skills.

Solutions are provided in the last pages of this printable pack.
