Nothing says Christmas like unscrambling reindeer names...
Seriously, can anyone really name all of Santa's reindeer without missing one or mixing one's name up? I know I can't! I always seem to miss one of them so I definitely need to have a list of their names (as unscrambled words of course!) or else I'll miss Donner, Vixen, or Prancer. Rudolph I won't miss because "he's the most famous reindeer of all!" Please tell me you sung that...
So might as well toss all of those reindeer names into a word scramble game, right? Because why not.
Well, that's what I did. I scrambled all of their names up to test your knowledge (or rather your kids' knowledge). Can they get all of the reindeer unscrambled?

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 Christmas activity, give this reindeer name word scramble for kids a try.
