Scrambled Words - Winter Holiday Edition
Great for an "on task" activity when students come in the room. Type in your words or phrases, have the students decode them. I got this idea from watching the programs you can buy where you type in a word or phrase and then it prints out a page that has symbols that you have to decode using a key below. Be sure to read the instructions they contain some good tips for creating these. All files are in Microsoft Word. This scrambled words game is themed for the Winter Holidays. It comes in two difficulty levels : Easy and Medium.
