How to make word scramble games more fun in a group setting:
- Set a timer:
Set a timer for a designated amount of time. Once someone says “Go,” everyone must begin solving the words as quickly as they can. Whichever player was able to unscramble the most amount of words during that time, wins! - Solve as quickly as possible:
In this version of the game, each player will begin with their word scramble game face down on a table. Once the game begins, everyone will flip over their paper and start unscrambling the words as fast as they can. Whoever is able to correctly unscramble all of their words first, is the winner.
Favorite Supplies and Software:
These are a few of my favorite supplies and software that I use and LOVE!
- Flodesk: Tired of paying more and more money each month as your email list grows? With Flodesk, the price stays the same no matter how many subscribers you have! Use my affiliate link to give Flodesk a try today for FREE!
- 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.
