Groundhog Day Word Search, free printable PDF preview

Secretly, part of me actually hopes the little marmot sees his shadow because extra winter means more excuses to stay inside. Spotting terms like burrow and forecast in the grid feels like the perfect cozy distraction.

Call it a groundhog day word find if that is the phrase you grew up with. The grid does not mind and the answer key still fits on one page.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the word mammal included in this list?

Groundhogs are large ground squirrels, and squirrels are mammals: warm blooded, furry and, in this case, asleep in a burrow for most of the winter.

Does a sunny day mean more winter or early spring?

If the sky is clear enough for the animal to see a shadow, tradition dictates six more weeks of winter.
