Christmas Word Ladders

A friend of mine that is a teacher told me recently how much she loves giving word ladders to her 3rd grade students. I didn’t realize teachers would prefer them over word searches because they are better teaching tools. Since then I’ve found that they are a little challenging to put together! It’s not easy having to run through the alphabet 30+ times trying to put together a string of words that work!! So that’s why I’m really happy I was able to come up with these Christmas themed word ladders – with Christmas words, no less! Trust me, it wasn’t easy!!

Thanksgiving Word Puzzles

I always think that getting ready for Thanksgiving will be the calm before the storm of the holiday season. Then somehow the month of November whizzes past me and I wonder what the heck happened to my supposedly calm month? This year should be even crazier with everything I have on my plate, but I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. I don’t need Thanksgiving to be grateful for all the wonderful things in my life!

Thanksgiving is a special time of year, especially this year. I started Animal Jr. right before Thanksgiving in 2008, not having a clue as to how huge of a network it would turn into just a few months later! Here are some of my very first printables from that time, Turkey Coloring Pages and these Turkey Printable Masks.

Here is a post of Thanksgiving word puzzles, too!

I’m gearing up early for Halloween this year – I’ve been creating so much fun content for the fall I can’t wait to share it with all of you! These printable Halloween word puzzles are great for 3rd grade and up – have the kids unscramble the letters and find the hidden phrase when the worksheet is completed!

Here’s a little hint – the word lists are the same ones used in these Halloween word searches, which make them great Halloween vocabulary practice! You might also like these cute Halloween coloring pages, easy Halloween handprint crafts, or these paper bag crafts for Halloween.
