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 summer 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 or use our word matching page that has the answers they can match with the unscrambled words.

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:

Print off as an easy activity during a summer BBQ.
Have a competition to see who can solve them all the fastest.
Follow this activity with our Summer Bingo or an Outdoor Scavenger Hunt.

Ways to extend this activity:

Extend this activity further by having kids come up with their own summer words to scramble. They can then quiz siblings, parents, or classmates on the words they scrambled on their own.
