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

Look at the vowels and consonants separately

Think of words that you know that are Thanksgiving-themed. Write them out. Can you see any letters in some of these words?

Sometimes 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 for all 15 word scrambles so you can easily identify the answer for kids.

Kids will love trying to guess these words together over Thanksgiving dinner!

You can play two ways:

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

You can also have kids solve it as a fun activity on their own during Thanksgiving break.
