Is it still winter where you are or is it finally spring? Or maybe it’s summer going into fall? Wherever in the changing seasons you find yourself, this word Scottish Gaelic word search about the weather will help you practice, learn, and review vocabulary about the weather.

There are two word search versions available for this puzzle. The first shows the puzzle without the word list! This is great if you are looking for more of a challenge. Find all 33 words about the weather without any clues or hints.

Or maybe you’d prefer the second version, which shows the puzzle along with the list of 33 Scottish Gaelic weather words hidden inside. 

Maybe you’ll start with the first one and see how many you can find? After that, move on to the second to find the rest? It’s up to you to decide. 

All of the words are in Dwelly; most (but not all) are in the Learn Gaelic dictionary.

If you want to work your way through without the wordlist, another option would be to scour Fichead Facal, picture dictionaries, and other resources for all the weather words you can gather before you start searching. However you proceed, I hope you enjoy it!

Words appear up-and-down and across-and-back. There are no diagonals and no words are hidden inside other words.

Some are multiple words, for example “abair latha.”

There are 33 words to find.

Good luck!

Cuir dath air aon-adharcach! Here’s a Scottish Gaelic colouring page for all ages.

Today’s offering is simple and special: a free colouring sheet featuring a happy dancing unicorn cheering on your Gaelic learning with the phrase “Suas leis a’ Ghàidhlig” – Up with Gaelic!

Sometimes we need a quiet moment of mindfulness with a cup of tea and a little creativity. I enjoy colouring when I need to unwind, but don’t want to give in to television. I’ve also coloured with groups of friends, at home or at a cafe. It’s fun and very low stress, and who couldn’t use more of that these days?

Could you find a moment to slow down this weekend, on your own or with friends or family to colour? Learning Gaelic doesn’t have to be serious all the time – it can also be bright, joyful, and fun.

How to Use It

This page is perfect for:

  • Quiet moments of mindfulness
  • Gaelic-themed activities with children or learners
  • Adding a little cheer to your language learning space
  • A fun craft to go alongside storytelling or music
  • Print it out, grab your favorite pencils, crayons, or markers, and make it your own
  • Keep a few on hand for rainy days or waiting rooms

Until next time, happy colouring – and Suas Leis a’ Ghàidhlig!

As the winter season and chilly days continue in the northern hemisphere, I know I’m not the only one looking forward to Oidhche nan Seachd Suipearan – literally “The Night of the Seven Suppers” aka Winter Solstice! In just about a week the days will start to get a little longer and the nights a little shorter. Until then, here’s a little Scottish Gaelic Nollaig Chridheil word search to help pass the time — and review some winter and holiday season vocabulary!

The download includes both a colour and a black-and-white version for printing.

Tha mi an dòchas gun còrd e ribh! I hope you enjoy it!
