This Mother’s Day word scramble game features fifteen different holiday themed words you will have to work to solve. Since there are both long and short words, this activity is great for a variety of age groups. Sometimes I find that the shorter words are even harder to figure out than the longer words!
How to make word scramble games more competitive:
Set a timer:
Set a timer for 5 minutes. Each player has to try and unscramble as many words as they can before the timer runs out. Whoever has the most words correctly unscramble at the end of the game, wins.
Race against time:
Here, each player will be given the word scramble game face down. When someone says “GO,” everyone will have to turn their page over and begin unscrambling the words as quickly as possible. Whoever unscrambles all of the words first, wins.

Favorite Printable Supplies:
These are a few of my favorite supplies that I use for printable games and activities:
- White Cardstock: For most projects, I recommend printing onto cardstock. It is much more durable than standard printer paper and often produces a higher quality print.
- Crayons: A staple in any crafting household. Crayola is always the top notch choice!
- Kid Friendly Safety Scissors: These are perfect for little kids learning how to use scissors. They cut paper but not fingers or hair!
- Glue Sticks: These disappearing purple glue sticks are by far my favorite! I love buying them in bulk since we use them so often!
- Lamination Machine: Laminating printables are a great way to make them last longer. If you are planning on laminating to make games reusable, be sure to get a bunch of dry erase markers as well.
- Dry Erase Pockets: Dry erase pockets are a great alternative to using a lamination machine when wanting to make printable games and activities reusable.
- Printer: A high quality printer is always recommended for the best results. If you are in need of a printer this Brother Wireless Printer is a great choice.
