About this word search
An Australian Christmas mixes snowy pictures on the cards with a hot day at the beach, and this short list does the same. Beach sits right next to Sleigh and Reindeer, which can start a good chat about why Santa might swap his fur coat for board shorts in December.
Young readers can begin with Star and Bell, both four letters. Say the word, find its first letter, then follow the row across or the column down until the word is complete. Nothing is hidden on a slant or backwards. Reindeer is the trickiest because of its double E, so keep it for last.
Afterwards, the words can go onto paper decorations for the tree, one word for each child in the family.
