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

Look at the vowels and consonants separately.
Think of all of the Hanukkah-related words you know. Write them down. Do you notice some of the same letters? Write down anything that comes to mind and compare.
Often 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 words so you can easily identify the answer for kids.

Kids will love trying to guess these Chanukah words together over dinner during the Festival of Lights!

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.
