Something that we've been working on a lot with my kids, especially my youngest, is having a growth mindset.
We stress the importance of trying hard things, learning from mistakes, being flexible, and all that jazz. Being flexible is the big one we talk about almost daily.
Now, growth mindset is also a topic that they talk about a lot at school. Especially during the first few weeks of school.
So if you're looking for a simple growth mindset activity to do either at home or at school, then this little growth mindset word scramble game is perfect. It's also great to pair with these ABC themed growth mindset cards.
This word scramble game introduces a variety of words related to having a growth mindset, while also targeting writing skills, spelling, problem solving...you name it!
And, speaking of growth mindset, if you haven't read the book Mindset by Carol S. Dweck, you should. It's a must! I highly recommend it.
