Word search printables are an excellent homeschool activity for when the kids just need a break. They are educational, but more importantly, they are fun.

Word searches are one of the best games for kids to improve vocabulary, enhance cognitive skills, and foster a love for learning in individuals of all ages.

This word search is a perfect educational Christmas activity for kids in upper elementary and middle school.

The popular Elf names can be found, horizontally, vertically, diagonally, frontwards, or backward! Just to make it that much harder!

When the kids have completed the word search there are 2 elf images they can color in too.

Encourage the kids to write with our fun If I were an elf worksheet.

I have also added the Christmas word search answer sheet, some of the names are a little tricky to find!

Tip: I recommend either using a highlighter pen or circling around the letters. Do not cross the letters out if you have found a word, as it may be used in another word!
