This printable January word search is a fun way to perfect the winter word search puzzle for kids of all ages. Winter word search puzzles are a great way to keep the kids busy and not bored this January.
Easy word search puzzles are a fun activity for kids, especially during winter months when they are spending more time indoors. Printable games, indoor scavenger hunts, word games, and coloring pages are always great ideas to have on hand.
Winter Break
During the winter months, the kids are typically on winter break and there are lots of downtimes indoors. One of my favorite mom hacks is to print out a bunch of different coloring pages, like our January Coloring Page, lots of printable puzzles, like our Winter Word Search, and printable games, like our Winter Bingo.
Have those on hand along with a bin full of markers and crayons and set them on their way. These are all sure to keep them occupied for hours on end.
What are Word Search Puzzles?
If you are unfamiliar with word search puzzles, they are single-word games typically based on a theme. January is a winter month and so the word list is winter-themed. It also contains holiday words such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Chinese New Year.
The puzzle itself is a block of letters with hidden words located inside the puzzle. The trick is to find the words. The words are hidden side to side, up and down, and diagonally.
The easy medium puzzles are geared toward young learners. Those puzzles only make the word search set either up and down or diagonally.
Levels of Difficulty of Word Searches
Harder versions will make them up, down, forward, backward and both directions diagonally. For the harder words (longer words), word search puzzles can be helpful in teaching vocabulary words and spelling words. Even in high school.
Word searches are similar to a crossword puzzle in that you are looking for the words to solve the puzzle. Word searches are different from crosswords because the word list is given and in crossword puzzles, the word needs to figure out.

Solving Word Search
The key to solving word search puzzles, regardless of the difficulty, is to find all the words in the word box from your word list.
Many word search puzzles, like this January word search, will have an answer key along with the puzzle in case you or your little one get stuck.
