Winter Activity Book — 1st Grade

Winter Activity Book for 1st Grade — Free Printable

First graders are just starting to read on their own, and this free 12-page Winter Activity Book is built around exactly that. It opens with a page of Winter Fun Facts written at a beginning-reader level, and several of the puzzles that follow pull their answers straight from those facts, so kids have a reason to read carefully.

The word puzzles come first. In the Word Scramble, children unscramble winter words like the ones from the facts page. Code Breaker gives each symbol a letter; crack the code and a winter sentence appears. The Word Search hides the same vocabulary, and the leftover letters spell a secret word — a satisfying payoff for finishing every word.

In between there is a Winter Maze where a skater needs to find the hot cocoa, a Mirror Drawing of a snowflake star to complete, a Patterns page where kids find the rule and fill in the empty box, and a Matching page that pairs things that go together.

One Activity page links to Mokifun: kids play Word Race and write down how fast they found the words. It makes a fun bridge between paper and screen, and the score box turns it into a personal best to beat.

Skills covered: reading short informational text, sight words and winter vocabulary, spelling, letter-symbol substitution, pattern recognition, symmetry, and following a path with a pencil. It suits a 1st-grade winter literacy center, a sub-folder, morning work in January, or a snow-day packet at home.

Print on US Letter in black and white; the maze and mirror drawing are made for coloring afterward. Because the Code Breaker and Word Search depend on a fresh grid, print one copy per child rather than sharing.

All grades of this set are in our winter activity books hub, and more books for this level are under 1st grade activity books.
