Free puzzle maker
Christmas Word Search With Your Family's Names
Mix your family’s names with Christmas words and print a word search for the kids’ table, the stockings or a quiet moment after dinner. Everyone looks for their own name first.
How it works
- Open the maker and type your words, one per line (or keep the example list).
- Pick the puzzle and the level, and press Make my puzzle.
- Print it, or save it as a PDF. The answer key prints on its own page.
Ideas
- The kids’ table. Cousins’ names, the dog and a few Christmas words keep them busy until dinner.
- Stocking stuffer. Print one per person with their name in the title line.
- Grandparents. A family-names puzzle is a small gift they will actually finish. Pro prints it in large print.
