Free Groundhog Day Color by Sight Word Activities

Groundhog Day is around the corner. Will the groundhog see his shadow? Will winter linger on? Well, I live in Michigan so it is pretty much guaranteed to linger on til March or April. Haha! Either way, kids love to hear about Groundhog Day and see if Punxsutawney Phil will see his shadow. 

Build on that excitement with some sight word practice!! These free groundhog day color by sight word pages are perfect for practicing sight words and spelling words in February.

This freebie includes 5 different Groundhog Day related pictures. Students will practice reading a word at the top and then finding that same word throughout the picture and coloring it the assigned color. They will continue until they've colored all of the words.

What words are included you ask? Well, any words you want! These are editable which means you can type any words you want in the top of the page and they will automatically fill into the picture below. That way your students are only practicing the words they need to work on.

This makes it super simple to differentiate for your students. Pick the words your students need more practice with and you are good to go.

How to Edit These FREE Printables

1. Save the file onto your computer (not a phone or tablet).

2. Find the file and open it with Adobe. This is important - check to make sure you see the Adobe symbol and the words Adobe Acrobat at the top. Sometimes your computer settings will automatically open PDF files in the preview mode of your web browser. When it does this, it loses the ability to edit and can mess with the graphics. 

Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe installed. You can download it for free HERE.

3. Look for the faint blue boxes and type your sight words in those boxes near the crayons. As you move on to the next box, the words will auto fill in the picture down below.

 4. If you want to adjust the font or the size (you might need to do this especially if you have longer words in some of the tiny spaces of the picture), click ctrl + e or command + e. You will see a dialogue box like the one circled above. Highlight the word you want to change and then adjust the font and size from the drop down menu. You can use any font that is installed on your computer.

 5. Once you have finished the pages you want to use, go to File>Print.

6. Once you are in the print box, you can adjust what pages you want to print, how many copies you want, and then hit print down at the bottom.

If you are having trouble with editing this PDF, you can check out our FAQs for more help. Also, this feature on Adobe is technically called "filling in a field," so if you are searching for help on the web, it is not actually editing the pdf, because that would mean you are changing the things that I've already put on the page.
