Common Questions

How can I use Christmas words with my child?
Pick one letter a day in December and name the pictures together, then trace the words on a sheet made from that letter. Younger children can hunt for the pictures around a decorated house or point to them as you say each word. Older children can sort the words by first sound or write a letter with three words from the list.
Is this list good for children who are not reading yet?
Yes. Every word has a picture, so a child can name it before they can read it, and the picture word cards let you play matching and naming games. The tracing sheets add the written word once a child is ready.
Are there religious Christmas words on the list?
Most of the words are about winter, home and giving. A few come from the Christmas story, drawn simply and respectfully, so families who celebrate that side of Christmas find their words here too.
Can I print the Christmas word list?
Yes. The ABC picture chart puts one Christmas picture on every letter on a single page, and the picture word cards print every word on this page as cut-apart cards. Both are free PDFs in color and black and white, and each letter's tracing sheet is made in the free worksheet maker.
Can these pictures help a child get ready for Christmas?
Yes. Christmas changes a lot at once: the house looks different, people visit and routines move. Laying out the picture cards for what is coming next helps a child see the day before it happens.
What Christmas words start with X?
Christmas words that start with X include Xmas, xylophone and XOXO. Each one has a picture in the X section of this list, and the section's tracing sheet prints them dotted and ready to trace.
What Christmas words start with Z?
Christmas words that start with Z include zoom, zipper and zoo lights. Each one has a picture in the Z section of this list, and the section's tracing sheet prints them dotted and ready to trace.
