Christmas Fill-in-the-Blank Funny Stories – Printable Word Game for Kids & Families

What you get

Get the whole family laughing this Christmas. Ask for a noun, a silly word, an animal and a body part, write them down, then read the story out loud and find out what happens when Santa's sleigh breaks down above the zoo or a snowman goes on vacation to the moon. Every story is original, kid-friendly and different every time you play.

1. 20 original funny stories – 12 for kids 7+ and 8 for the whole family (all ages, family friendly)
