There is something about the Christmas season that inspires its own special Christmas vocabulary. This is the time of year when we are often looking for special Christmas words for a specific purpose.
One of my son’s favorite games right now is to play Scattegories. In fact, his teacher just played an easy version at their Christmas party. This makes an easy and festive game for Christmas, especially in a classroom! Simply set a timer and tell the kids to write a different Christmas word for each letter of the alphabet. At the end, if they have a duplicate with someone else, they don’t get a point. The person with the most unique Christmas words wins! This is exactly why you need a Christmas word list like this one.
There are a lot of Christmas words on this list. You can pick and choose which ones to use on a word wall in your classroom, which helps your students spell the popular Christmas words. This is especially helpful for younger children who are still learning to read and spell.
This list of words can also help you write Christmas poems, or find the right words for a Season’s Greetings. Really, there are so many different uses for a Christmas word list like this one!
I tried to think of as many related words as I could. Many are one word for each letter. Some are Christmas adjectives. Some are descriptions. Some describe festive activities. Some are religious words and others are not. There are a wide variety of Christmas words included on this list.
