Christmas Activities for Seniors

Five days of Christmas in a single PDF, for the week of December 25: the large print Christmas word search, the large print Christmas crossword, 20 Christmas trivia questions, the large print Christmas word scramble and a coloring page of a snowman with cardinals. A cover page sets out the week, and the answers wait at the back. Print the group copy, which has no answers, for everyone at the table.

For the big party, Christmas bingo gives everyone a different card and keeps the whole room playing at once. The Christmas tree maze makes a quiet table activity for the guests who would rather sit out a round, and the carols crossword leads naturally into a sing-along once the last answer is in.

Not everyone at the table celebrates Christmas. The large print Hanukkah word search and the Hanukkah crossword fit the same season. The large print December word search includes Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa together, and the winter word search has no holiday words at all, so it works for anyone.

• First week: winter. The large print winter word search and a snowman coloring page, before the decorations go up.
• Second week: baking. The Christmas baking word search, then swap family recipes while the cookies cool.
• Third week: carols. The carols word search on Monday, the carols crossword midweek and a sing-along on Friday.
• Christmas week: the party. The activity pack day by day, with bingo, trivia and a word scramble race at the party itself.

• Print the group copy of the activity pack double-sided to halve the paper; the page numbers stay the same.
• Each bingo set has 30 different numbered cards, so up to 30 players can each have their own; print only the pages you need.
• Every coloring page has its own PDF, so you can print just the pictures your group likes best.
• If your printer uses A4 paper, choose “fit to page” so nothing is cut off.
