Nobody checks the FORECAST harder than a ten year old on a January night. When the call comes and school is CANCELED, the day has its own vocabulary: PAJAMAS until noon, a SHOVEL before the PLOW buries the driveway again, SLEDDING until fingers go numb, then COCOA and CARTOONS under a BLANKET. This word find puts all of it on one page for the kid who has finished sledding and still has hours to fill.
Frequently asked questions
Who decides a snow day?
The district superintendent, usually before 6 a.m., after checking with road crews and the forecast. Many districts now run a remote learning day instead, so a true CANCELED day is rarer than it used to be.
Is this snow day word search easy enough for first grade?
Most of it. PLOW and COCOA are short, but CANCELED and FORECAST run eight letters, so pair younger kids with an older sibling.
