How this list was compiled

Own original pixel pictures of winter things, with no holiday among them, drawn square by square for this page on 8 by 8 and 12 by 12 grids. Nothing is traced or copied, and no picture shows a character from a film, show, book or game. Each uses 3 to 5 colors with one-word names. The descriptions say what is drawn and make no claim about the real animal or object. The square counts were computed from the grids. Licence: own work

How this list was compiled

Our own word lists for this page. The two sets of everyday words are the short common words in six winter sentences we wrote for the page, and each word's line gives its sentence. The winter words are our own pick of short words for the season. No list is taken from a published sight word list, and none carries a grade level. Spellings were checked against a standard dictionary word list on 30 September 2026. Licence: own work

How it works

These winter sight words sheets have no holiday in them, so they suit any cold week. The Knit hat opens with a word in every square. Type your own list in Your words to change the words.

Read the full guide

Winter words, plus two lists from sentences

Winter words are snow, ice, cold, hat, coat, wind, boot, warm, frost and sled. Everyday words 1 and 2 hold 13 common words between them, such as how, from, could, please and walk. Pick any of the three under Start from a list. The Knit hat takes 4 words.

Six cold-weather sentences

How cold it was! Snow fell from above. Give me a warm coat. Could they find any ice? Please help him walk. But I am not cold. Each everyday word is in one of the six, for reading once the coloring is done.

  • The Knit hat, the Earmuffs and the Thermometer take 4 words. The other five pictures take 5.
  • The Walrus's tusks are white squares on a blue background, so pupils must read the leave-white word to keep them white.

Questions and answers

Are these winter sight words tied to a grade or a published list?

Neither. They are our own choice: ten winter words and 13 everyday words from our six sentences. For words from your own reading program, type them in Your words and they take the place of ours.

Where do I find the answer key?

It is the second page of the printout, the picture colored square by square. On screen its switch is Answer key on page 2, a box in More options below the grid, ticked from the start.

Why does the list have more words than the sheet?

A sheet shows one word for each color and one for white, 4 or 5 on this page. A longer list is dealt at random, and Shuffle the words deals again without changing the picture.
