CHRISTMAS WORD SEARCHES WITH ANSWER KEYS, GRID TEMPLATES & CHRISTMAS VOCABULARY LIST Word searches a fabulous way of encouraging learners to engage with the written word, practicing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This resource combines two sets of Christmas word searches, with Set 1 designed more for KS2, and Set 1 for KS1 - of course, it depends on your learners, and what stage they are currently at in their learning.
Christmas Word Searches #1
The set features ten differentiated word searches, focusing on a wide range of Christmas vocabulary, with each consecutive grid increasing in challenge. There are 48 Christmas words featured, which is a great way of stimulating discussion about cultural, religious and national traditions and practices. There are some religious words in the searches, such as Nativity and Three Kings/Wise Men. The searches offer a really useful learning opportunity - consolidating not only new words and vocabulary, but also working on reading, writing, spelling and English Language skills in general. Learners are able to identify which direction words are located in within the grid by referring to the arrow key. There are also four question and answer key grid templates for learners to create their own searches for each other - this is a really popular activity, and I’ve found that my learners often like to create grids for family at home too. The templates enable learners to apply language practically and creatively, which is really important at this stage of language development.
There is a single grid per 8.5 x 11 (A4) sheet, portrait format. There is also an answer key for each word search.
Christmas Word Searches #2
This set features five differentiated word searches, again with each consecutive grid increasing in challenge. Learners are able to identify which direction words are located in within the grid by referring to the arrow key. For additional consolidation, they also rewrite each word in the word column. There are also five question and answer key grid templates . Encourage learners to include other Christmas words that aren’t included in the grids. We also discuss Christmas traditions and practices in our home and other countries, and this gives an additional opportunity to add words and phrases they can use in their own word searches. These word searches are in landscape format, mirroring the direction of reading and writing in English from left to right, facilitating learner engagement with the activity. There is a single grid per 8.5 x 11 (A4) sheet.

495 beginner German words & phrases with matching English vocabulary cards really do help to create a lively language learning environment, ideal for advanced beginner German learners.
There are five sets of 99 beginner German words and phrases, with matching English cards, 198 cards in each set, 990 cards in total. There is an accompanying 18-page Reference, Recall & Write workbook with an alphabetical German-English vocabulary list. Students use their recall workbooks quite a few times, simply covering previous answers. This means that prep and paper are kept to a minimum.
The vocabulary groups across the four sets are as follows:
Begrüßungen : Zahlen 0-100 : Tage der Woche : Monate des Jahres : Jahreszeiten : Uhrzeit (o’clock & half past) : Adjektive : deutsche Verben : in der Stadt : Schulfächer : Tiere : Verbindungswörter : Fragewörter : Obst und Gemüse : Wetter : Körper : Farben : meine Familie : Alltagswörter : Deutsch im Klassenzimmer : Fragen und Antworten
The Reference, Recall & Write books each have 18 pages. They include an alphabetical German-English reference list of all 99 words & phrases. The Recall and Write challenges help students familiarise themselves with, and really embed, the range of vocabulary in the set, and also get used to reading, writing and spelling in***German***.
There are three written recall challenges:
= Written Recall Challenge One: students write the English word or phrase from a German prompt, with all the words and phrases grouped together in the same category
= Written Recall Challenge Two: with this challenge, students write the words or phrases in German from an English prompt, and again, they’re all group together in the same category
= Written Recall Challenge Three: the final challenge ‘switches’ at each question from German to English, and lists words and phrases randomly from each category. This challenges the memory more than when the vocabulary is in the order learners first learn it in, with the additional challenge of moving between the two languages - I’ve found that this really does encourage my students to think hard about their German vocabulary.
There is definitely prep involved - printing and cutting out the cards, and printing / photocopying the workbooks. Laminate the game cards if you can - they are far more learner-friendly, and the cards will remain in excellent conditional for years.
