Winter : A Matching Puzzle for English Learners

WINTER WORDS : A MATCHING PUZZLE

Below, you will find a printable winter vocabulary matching exercise that we created for busy teachers. This activity is perfect for learners of all ages and can be adapted for a variety of classroom settings. 

The exercise includes a collection of words related to winter. Students will match each word to its corresponding image, reinforcing word recognition and comprehension in an interactive way.

Here are some suggestions for incorporating this activity into your lesson plan:

1. Introduce the Vocabulary

Begin by introducing the words to your students. Discuss their meanings, use them in sentences, or brainstorm additional words related to winter. 

2. Encourage Collaboration

Have students work in pairs or small groups to complete the exercise. This promotes teamwork and provides opportunities for discussion about the vocabulary.

3. Extend the Learning

Once the activity is complete, consider follow-up steps such as:

• Drawing their own winter scenes and labeling them with the vocabulary words.
• Writing a short paragraph or story using the words they’ve learned.
• Discussing their favorite winter activities or traditions.

We hope this exercise adds a spark of joy to your winter lessons and helps your students feel more confident in their language abilities. Feel free to share your feedback or ideas for using this activity—we love hearing how our resources support classrooms around the world!
