If you spent even five minutes with my youngest son, you'd quickly learn that video games are his passion. Especially video game consoles. He loves learning about them, talking about them, reading about them, making them out of cardboard, making perler bead related crafts...you name it!
The things he knows about video game consoles is incredible. Release dates, games that came out for that console, accessory names...he knows it all.
But can he recognize the names of his favorites when they're all scrambled up? That's the goal of this video game console 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!
