Christmas Party Word Search, free printable PDF preview

The Christmas cracker was invented in London around 1847 by the sweet maker Tom Smith, who wrapped sugared almonds in twists of paper after seeing French bonbons; the snap came later. This grid is a party in eleven words: the INVITATION, the POTLUCK table, the PUNCHBOWL, a Secret Santa draw and the gift exchange, then KARAOKE and a round of TRIVIA. Words run across, down, backwards and up.

Frequently asked questions

How do you use a word search at a Christmas party?

Print one copy per guest and start everyone at the same moment; the first to find all 11 words wins, or play in pairs at an office party. It fills the quiet first minutes while guests arrive, before everyone starts to MINGLE. For a children's party, the Christmas for kids grid uses easier words.

What is the difference between Secret Santa and a white elephant exchange?

In Secret Santa each person draws one name and buys a gift for that person in secret. In a white elephant exchange the gifts are anonymous and players can steal from each other in turn. Either way it is a GIFTEXCHANGE, one of the words in this word puzzle.
