Some tips you can give to kids to help them unscramble the words:

Look at the vowels and consonants separately.
Think of all of the Earth Day-related words you know. Write them down. Do you notice some of the same letters? Write down anything that comes to mind and compare.
Often mixing up the letters on your own can help. Re-write the letters in a different way and see if anything familiar pops out.
For younger kids, write out all of the answer words on the sheet for them to look at.

There is also a full answer sheet included so you can easily identify the answers for kids. You can also cut out the answer words and kids can glue them onto the worksheet.

Make it a game:

See who can solve them all first for a prize.
Set a time limit and see how many they can answer!

Ways to use this word scramble:

Laminate and save it for classrooms, and kids can reuse it over and over.
