Snowman find and color the CVC word sheets give kids a fun way to practice reading CVC words while up and moving. They’re great for kindergarten literacy centers!
Snowman Find and Color the CVC Word Sheets
These free printable snowman find and color sheets are offered in color or black and white. Then, there are printable snowball cards with corresponding pictures on them to match the CVC words.
Students will look at the images and match them to the CVC words on the snowman. This gives them lots of engaging practice with phonics skills like blending sounds to read CVC words.
This activity is perfect for kindergarten students during small groups or independent center times.
If you have students who don’t like to color, try this!
Place the snowman pages into write and wipe pockets or laminate them. Then, give the students a dry-erase marker to cross off the letters they find instead of coloring them.
Or give them a manipulative to mark off their CVC words for an even easier way to play. You can use an eraser, counters, pom poms, winter erasers, or snap cubes.

How to Use the Snowman Find and Color the CVC Word Sheets
Put the picture cards in a pile. Students will pull one card at a time and determine what they see. Then, they will locate the matching CVC word on their sheets and color the space. They can also cover it with a manipulative if you prefer.
They continue drawing cards until all of their CVC words are colored!
To get your students up and moving, send them on a fun CVC word hunt! Place the CVC picture cards all around the room. Students will look for the cards and then find each matching word on their sheet.
There is a black and white and color version of the snowman so you can choose the one that works best for you.
Fun Books to Add to the Activity
Here are some fun books to add to your library before completing this activity!
“Snowmen at Work” by Caralyn Buehner
This book is a fun addition to your winter theme. It shows snowmen doing various jobs. Kids can practice CVC words by spotting items or actions in the book that match the sounds on their task cards, like “hat,” “bag,” or “fix.”
“There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow!” by Lucille Colandro
This playful, cumulative tale about a lady who swallows snow-themed items will have kids laughing while they listen. The story features several CVC words and is an excellent prompt for children to practice identifying sounds in words like “hat” and “log.”
“The Snowman” by Raymond Briggs
This classic, wordless story can inspire students to create CVC words based on the illustrations. The images of the snowman’s adventures with the boy are perfect for encouraging kids to look at a picture and connect it to a word (like “bag,” “run,” or “hug”). See if they can sound out the words they notice within the book!
“Sneezy the Snowman” by Maureen Wright
Sneezy the Snowman is a fun story about a snowman who keeps melting and needs creative solutions to stay together. The repetition of simple, wintery words like “hot,” “hat,” and “run” is ideal for reinforcing CVC sounds in a fun way as kids follow along with the silly story.
