Christmas Categories

Put a seasonal spin on logic practice with this Christmas-themed word puzzle! Students will look at two stockings, each marked with a different letter: S or B. For each stocking, they will work through eight categories and write one answer per category that begins with the designated letter.

Designed for sixth- through eighth-grade students, this worksheet will encourage flexible thinking and expand vocabulary. Coming up with words that fit specific categories will also challenge students to make connections, consider word meanings, and think beyond their first answers.

For more opportunities to build vocabulary and sharpen language skills, pair this worksheet with word games such as Escape the Category: Unrelated Words and Logic Puzzle: Library Books.
