New: free Halloween games and worksheets for PreK to 5th grade

Free Christmas Games for Kids Online

December gets busy, and kids get excited. These Christmas games give that excitement somewhere to go. The memory game pairs holiday pictures with their words, which helps early readers. The word search uses holiday vocabulary at three levels. The cookie math starts with counting cookies on a tray and builds up to multiplying and dividing whole batches. Each game takes about five minutes, so it fits between other plans.

Free to play in your browser. No download, no app, no sign-up. PreK through 5th grade.

What are good Christmas games for kids to play online?

It depends on your child's age and how much time you have. For preschoolers and kindergartners, a picture memory game and counting cookies work well because no reading is needed. For 1st through 3rd graders, a Christmas word search builds spelling, and adding and subtracting cookies keeps math facts fresh over the break. For 4th and 5th graders, try the hardest word search and the multiplication and division level. All three are free, with no download.

    What kids practice in each game

    Memory Match

    Each card shows a picture and its word, so matching pairs builds picture-to-word recognition along with working memory. Younger kids play 6 pairs; older kids get up to 10.

    Word Search

    Searching for holiday words builds spelling and visual scanning. PreK to 1st grade words run across and down, 2nd to 3rd adds diagonals, and 4th to 5th hides words in every direction.

    Math Game

    Ten quick questions per round. PreK to 1st counts pictures and adds within 10, 2nd to 3rd adds and subtracts within 100, and 4th to 5th multiplies and shares equally.
