Free Easy Christmas Crossword Puzzle PDF for Kids Ages 8–10
Every clue on this page is a little riddle about the holidays, from the cookies baking in the oven to the sleigh racing across the sky. This Christmas crossword puzzle invites children to solve fifteen festive clues and fill in the answers, bringing a bit of reading and spelling practice into the most exciting time of the year.
At the top left, the title “Christmas Crossword” is written in a playful, handwritten script. The clues are written in two groups at the bottom of the page. Under the heading “Down,” eight clues describe a ring of green leaves with a big red bow for the front door, the jolly man in the red suit with a fluffy white beard, a plant with spiky leaves and red berries, and spicy cookies shaped like little men. They also ask for the greeting families shout on Christmas morning, a song like “Jingle Bells,” the name for the night before Christmas, and the shiny silver strands that make branches sparkle. Under the heading “Across,” seven clues describe the sleigh pulled through the sky by reindeer, the tree that gets decorated with ornaments and a star, and the twinkling decorations that light up the house. They also ask for the place Santa slides down on Christmas night, a gift wrapped in shiny paper with a name tag, a long fluffy rope of greenery hung across doorways, and the cozy spot where stockings hang next to the crackling logs.
