Can you place each of the winter words into this free printable Winter Fill-In Word Puzzle?
As a child, I always loved the logic of completing a fill-in puzzle. I think the reason I enjoy puzzles like this so much is because it relies on pure logical thinking and reasoning instead of having to solve cryptic crossword clues.
Lately, I’ve been creating various fill-in puzzles for my students to use as early finisher activities. Previously, I’ve shared a Jobs that Use Mathematics Puzzle as well as some seasonal fill-in puzzles:
Instructions
Place each of the winter-related words in the grid exactly one time each. One letter must be placed in each box.
Using This Puzzle in the Classroom
I have started using these fill-in puzzles as one of the options for my students who are early finishers to choose from.
I usually pair a printable puzzle like this with a pentomino puzzle and a number puzzle with movable pieces. If you are looking for more winter puzzles, I suggest checking out my Winter Hat Puzzle, Winter Mystery Coordinate Plane Art and Tangram Puzzle, Snowflake Puzzle, or Penguin Pentominoes Puzzle.
I hang the puzzles each week on my dry erase board inside one of my Charles Leonard magnetic pockets.
Free Download of Winter Fill-In Word Puzzle
This Winter fill-in word puzzle is available to download in PDF format and as an editable PowerPoint file.
12/7/24 UPDATE: A kind blog reader informed me that there was a word in the word bank that was not actually used in the puzzle. I have removed the word (SWEATER) from the file. Sorry for any confusion!
Puzzle Solutions
I intentionally do not make answers to the printable math puzzles I share on my blog available online because I strive to provide learning experiences for my students that are non-google-able. I would like other teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms as well without the solutions being easily found on the Internet.
However, I do recognize that us teachers are busy people and sometimes need to quickly reference an answer key to see if a student has solved a puzzle correctly or to see if they have interpreted the instructions properly.
If you are a teacher who is using these puzzles in your classroom, please send me an email at sarah@mathequalslove.net with information about what you teach and where you teach. I will be happy to forward an answer key to you.
Not a teacher? Go ahead and send me an email as well. Just let me know what you are using the puzzles for. I am continually in awe of how many people are using these puzzles with scouting groups, with senior adults battling dementia, as fun activities in their workplace, or as a birthday party escape room.
