In my mind, it's officially winter here since we had a blast of snow this week. Although it was nothing compared to the dump of snow we got last year at this time. That storm shut down the province for a couple of days while plows tried to catch up...
Anyway, since it looks like winter around here, I figured I'm officially allowed to share some winter activities and games here.
And since many hyperlexic kids love word games, I thought this winter word scramble would be a great place to start.
Why Word Scramble Games are Good for Kids
Word scramble games are a great way for kids to work on vocabulary, spelling, language skills, working memory, problem-solving skills, writing, and so much more! There's a wide range of skills you could target here. Just get creative.
You can use free printable word scramble games like this one at home, in the classroom, or even on the road. Or you could use them in Zoom meetings for online learning (tips on how to do so here). They'd even make a great rainy day or snow day activity too!
Also, if you've been looking for other ideas on how to use your hyperlexic child's interests in letters, then word scramble games are a great fit. They definitely build off of a hyperlexic child's interest in letters. I mean the game is literally just a bunch of letters. Besides, using your hyperlexic child's interests to teach new skills is definitely something you should be doing - and something you'll hear me say a lot around here!
So anyway, if you're looking for a quick winter activity, give this winter word scramble for kids a try.
