Solve A Puzzle Unlock Winter Joke

Each puzzle in this set comes with a fun and unique twist: as kids unscramble the winter-themed words, the letters in the circles reveal the punchline to a winter joke.

Here’s how it works:

Beside each jumbled word is a series of squares and circles, one for each letter of the word. Each square or circle is a place to write a letter of the unscrambled word.
Once all the words are unscrambled, kids gather the letters from the circles and arrange them to solve the joke.
The result? Giggles and groans as they uncover the answer to jokes like, “Why didn’t the snowman go to school?”

This clever design adds an extra layer of excitement to the puzzles, keeping kids motivated to finish each one.
