These Dinosaur Word Scramble Puzzles are easy for you to download and access. All you need to do is click on each of the puzzles below – this will open the puzzle and also the answer sheet in a PDF format. Just simply download them and then you can print them whenever you want to.
All kids need to do is look at each of the scrambled words, figure out what the word is, and then write this unscrambled word in the boxes beside it.
You’ll also notice there are some boxes which have a letter or two circled – this is another hidden puzzle they can only complete at the end! When they have finished all of the completed words, they can take all of the circled letters and these make up another word to unscramble, that can be put in the box at the very bottom – so they must get all of the original scrambled words correct!
Why These Word Puzzles are Great
There are many different ways you can use these puzzles. They can of course just be great as a rainy day activity or just for some quiet time. They’ll be using their brains while they complete them, while having fun.
It could also be a great activity for teachers looking for a class activity. Whether you’re looking for resources for a dinosaur or historical unit you’re currently teaching, or just think this would be a fun resource for the likely multiple dinosaur-loving kids you teach – then these will be great for you.
Lastly, we think these would be a fantastic thing to include if you are hosting a dinosaur themed kids event or themed party. Have some of these as a planned activity, hand them out in a gift bag at the end, or leave them on tables for anyone who’s looking for a more quiet activity to complete.
Not only will these puzzles provide your kids with entertainment, they’ll also be using their brains. These puzzles are great for vocabulary as it can teach kids new words or practice ones they already knew.
As well as this, it works on their letter recognition and spelling. When kids are unscrambling words like this they have to think about each letter and where it could go in the word they are figuring out. It also encourages them to spell things correctly when they have all of the letters provided to them and the correct number of boxes to fill them into.
It also obviously works on their cognitive problem solving skills. Your kids will have to think carefully and logically to figure out what the word may be, and this action will only work to improve their problem solving skills for the future. And when they begin to figure out the words, the sense of achievement they will get will be a great boost for them and their self esteem!
