Tips to use Thanksgiving word scramble
Before engaging in this word scramble activity, it can be beneficial to familiarize children with the Thanksgiving vocabulary words in Spanish.
There are various enjoyable ways to do this, such as exploring Thanksgiving-themed picture books in Spanish or incorporating the words into other engaging activities like a Thanksgiving-themed I Spy game or Thanksgiving scavenger hunt.
Additionally, this fun Thanksgiving word scramble game can provide an interactive and entertaining opportunity to reinforce the vocabulary. By incorporating these activities, children can have fun while expanding their Spanish language skills and building their summer vocabulary.
This word scramble printable comes with two pages, the actual word scramble and the answer sheet.
For younger kids, I recommend placing the words on the blackboard or around the room.
For older kids, give them a certain amount of time to complete the sheet before revealing the words they couldn’t figure out.
To enjoy this fun game even more, set a timer from 3-5 minutes and see which students or family members can figure out the words in the time allotted. What a fun challenge? Get the whole family involved to see who finishes first!
