Christmas Flashlight Cards: Who's Hiding?

Turn off the lights, grab a flashlight and watch the Christmas magic happen! Each card shows a light, friendly hiding place – a chimney, a present, an igloo, a snowy hill – with a short riddle. Shine a light from behind and the dark shadow of Santa, a reindeer, an elf or a penguin appears, together with its name.

Kids practice reading comprehension, inferences and vocabulary while they explore real light science: transparent, translucent and opaque. Counting cards, Santa's workshop and a present pile seek-and-find, a secret message from Santa, shadow puppets, shadow bingo and a memory game keep the fun going all December.

Print double-sided (the shadows line up perfectly) or single-sided with a hidden sheet behind. No flashlight? A sunny window works too. No prep – perfect for PreK to 2nd grade, centers, Christmas parties and the last days before winter break.
