My seeds are sprouting and growing strong. I've already had my first nap of the year in the sunroom. Things are definitely feeling like spring around here and I'm all for it, especially after our long winters.
So despite the large heaps of snow in both my front yard and my back yard, it seems like spring is here. However, there's always the possibility of one more dump of snow so, like any good Saskatchewanian, we haven't packed up the winter gear just yet. Although I could probably put away our snowshoes...
Either way, it's time to do all the spring things and enjoy some spring themed activities with the kids. Up first is this spring word scramble.
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 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 interest 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 spring activity, then give this spring word scramble for kids a try.
