What is a Word Scramble?
Word scramble games have become quite popular for kids of all ages. They are interactive and challenging which provides a fun way to exercise the brain.
A word scramble is a puzzle game where a set of letters of a particular word are mixed up. The goal is to unscramble the letter group to form the correct words within a given time limit.
What makes a fun Easter word scramble game slightly different is that these games feature a word list that is related to the Easter story and celebration. This is the perfect activity to add to your line up this Easter season.
Whether you’re looking for a fun activity to do with your family over the holiday or a challenge for kids to enjoy on their own, this fun Easter activity is a fantastic choice.
Benefits of Word Scrambles
Kids who naturally love to challenge themselves seem to be drawn to the challenge of completing word puzzles.
Language Skills
Printable word scrambles provide a fun way for kids to learn new words. As they unscramble letters and rearrange them to form words, they also strengthen their spelling. The unscrambled word combinations also help with word recognition.
Confidence
These word games give children a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence when they successfully solve a puzzle. The excitement of figuring out a tricky word can boost their self-esteem and motivate them to attempt to tackle even more challenging scrambles.
Problem-Solving Skills
Completing a word scramble is a great exercise for the brain. The process of unscrambling the words further enhances their problem-solving and critical thinking as they strategize to find the correct word formation. This sets them up for solving even more difficult problems in the future.
How to Incorporate the Resurrection Story
I know I talked a lot about the educational benefits… it’s because I’m a homeschooling mom who is always trying to seek the learning potential of everything. My goal is to be more intentional.
But, these Easter scrambles contain biblically focused words that you can use to explain the stories leading up to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Younger children may come to you asking questions about words they’ve never seen before. You can use this as an opportunity to engage them in the Easter story.
Another thing you can do is read your kids a religious-based Easter story ahead of time so they can familiarize themselves with some of the common Easter themed words to make solving the puzzle slightly less challenging.
Using the new vocabulary the kids learn, they can now create and tell their own Easter Bible story.
Using a creative activity like a word scramble printable adds an element of fun to your family gathering this season.
