March is filled with holidays that play into my son's interests. There's Mario Day on the 10th. Then Pi Day on the 14th. Then St. Patrick's Day on the 17th. These holidays check his boxes for video games, Nintendo, math, numbers, and his favorite color, which is green. All things he loves.
While I haven't created a word scramble game for Mario Day or Pi Day (why didn't I?!), I did create a St. Patrick's Day word scramble just in time for St. Paddy's Day.
So if your kid is into word games like mine is, then you're going to love this word scramble. It's a perfect no prep St. Patrick's Day activity. Just print and play.
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!
So anyway, if you're looking for a quick St. Patrick's Day activity, then give this St. Patrick's Day word scramble for kids a try.
