Christmas Word Scramble

Our entire family loves Christmas and parties and games — and Christmas party games. In this 12 Days of Christmas Games series, I’m sharing a dozen of our favorites:

Today’s game is an old standard with a fresh facelift. our family is proud to present (drumroll, please) “A Merry Christmas Word Scramble.”

I’ve included options for printing a full-page version of our scrambled word game or, if you’d rather conserve paper and don’t mind writing small, you can print two games per page. You’ll also want a copy of the answer key, but no fair peeking until you’ve tried to solve the puzzle yourself!

Free printable Christmas word scramble -- plus lots more party games from www.flandersfamily.info

You’ll note that the first letter of each scrambled word is capitalized. It is amazing how much more difficult that one little detail makes this game. Try it yourself, and you’ll see what I mean.

Some of the selections in our Christmas Word Scramble are fairly obvious, like “Ejuss.” Others are surprisingly hard, like “Stranneom.” Which word stumped you the longest?

    Hello Flanders Family,
    I am the activity director at a senior community. I am putting together a packet of games, puzzles, coloring sheets, trivia, and anything else I think they might enjoy as so many are afraid to come out of their apartments during these trying times. I would like to print out some of your activities to give to our seniors to help them at this time. Would you allow me to do that?
    Thank you for your consideration

            Sorry about the trouble you’ve had, Judith. You should be able to open PDF files on either a Mac or PC, though I’ve heard from a couple of readers that have had a hard time opening them on their phone. I went ahead and resent the PDFs to you, along with some screen shots of the game and answer key. The screen shots won’t print in as high definition as the PDFs, but should do in a pinch.

      I’ve heard from a couple of readers who’ve told me they couldn’t open the file on their phone but had no trouble viewing it on their computer. Meanwhile, I’ve sent screenshots of the answer key to you directly. You should be able to see it that way.

      I just put chocolate-covered raisins into little baggies and attach the labels to that. Super easy! It makes a great stocking stuffer or a fun offering for your local Christmas bazaar.

      Thanks for all your encouragement, Millie. Yes, it is a work of the heart. I love Christmas and have made lots of these games and such through many years of hosting holiday events like you describe. And I love to share ideas and time-saving resources with others. Why keep them to myself if somebody else could use them, too, right? Anyway… I’m glad you like my Big Book of Christmas and am grateful that you took time to write and tell me so!

    Hi,
    I am a 71 yr. old Grandmother of six young ones, ages 6-15. I have Christmas Eve dinner and entertainment each year. I have also had the care of my now 97 year old (dementia) father the past 3 Christmas’. Looking for printables for Christmas games was very time consuming, until I found your site.
    Thank you so very much for all the work and time you put into these to make MY life easier.
    I pray you have a blessed Christmas season.
    Again, thank you for sharing your efforts with others, you are a blessing.
    Sincerely,
    Lori

Knowing that several of the pastoral staff at our Knowing that several of the pastoral staff at our church were reading through The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry last month, I did too.  It didn’t take long to realize I’m more addicted to hurry than I suspected. (Injuring my hip shortly after starting this book brought my tendency to rush, rush, rush to light in a hurry.)  I found many of the book’s suggestions for breaking such an addiction helpful, although I also got the impression this author leans a little to the left politically (and maybe theologically, as well).  He gives some good food for thought but, as always, readers should be careful to eat the meat and spit out the bones.  #flandersfamilyreads

We usually read this book — recounting our own f We usually read this book — recounting our own family history — aloud to our kids every December, but we technically didn’t finish our most recent read through until January this year.  It took a while to get through them, because we had to stop so often to laugh or cry or discuss the antics recorded in each letter.  In addition to giving our younger ones a glimpse of what their older siblings were like growing up, the letters serve as a poignant reminder of God’s faithfulness to our family through the years.  I compiled this printed collection several years back, adding in several of our favorite Christmas traditions, recipes, and other “bonus material” for good measure.  It’s half-price right now on Amazon. I have no idea how long that sale will last, but If you’ve ever wished for a fly-on-the-wall view of what life in a large family looks like, this would be a good way to get it. 🤪  #flandersfamilyreads #christmasbooks #familyletters

Here’s another book I finished earlier this mont Here’s another book I finished earlier this month. I’d read and enjoyed a couple of Alexandra Kuykendall’s other books in the past, and Loving My Actual Life was written in the same vein.  In this volume, the author spends nine months tackling nine areas in her "actual life" (as opposed to the Pinterest- and Instagram-fueled ideas of what her life "should" be like) that need work, one at a time.  Many of the problem-areas she discusses in this journal-style narrative and the solutions she finds for dealing with them, will resonate with readers and point the way to improving their own situations. It was a fun, quick, and easy read with some good actionable ideas for loving your own actual life.  #flandersfamilyreads #bookreview #bibliophile #bookwormlife
