Introduce your first grade students to new vocabulary words with our winter-themed vocabulary word searches! These word searches not only provide a fun and interactive way for students to learn new words, but also serve as a tool for building their reading comprehension, conceptual understanding, and critical thinking skills.

The winter themes included in this set of ten word searches are: Arctic Animals, Cocoa, Groundhog Day, New Year’s, Dental Health, Penguins, Snowman, Winter Activities, Winter Clothing, and Valentine’s Day. They also incorporate the opportunity to practice using newly acquired vocabulary by using some of the words in sentences.

These word searches are a helpful no-prep activity that can be fit into any schedule. They can be used for morning warm-up, for early finishers, in literacy centers, as writing vocabulary reference, indoor recess, take-home break packets, and more.

With a variety of themes and sentence writing practice, this set is sure to keep your students engaged and motivated to learn new vocabulary words!

Our word searches have been tried and tested by teachers and received positive feedback. They are an easy-to-use, no-prep resource that can be integrated into any curriculum.
