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!

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!
