It’s time for Groundhog Day, which falls annually on February 2nd! Check out our free Groundhog Day word search printable to celebrate this special day.
It serves as a traditional and fun way to determine if we’re in for more cold weather, or if spring is swiftly on its way. On this day, Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog emerges from his burrow and predicts the weather.
If it’s sunny and he sees his shadow, he gets scared and runs back into his burrow, predicting six more week of winter. If he emerges from his burrow on a cloud day and doesn’t see his shadow, this foretells spring’s early arrival.
Head to our Groundhog Day guide, to learn the history of this day, fun facts, ways to celebrate, and the weather forecast for the day.
