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 winter-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.

Kids will have fun trying to guess each word! It also comes with a full answer sheet to check your answers.

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 to fill extra time while you’re out, in the car or as an early finisher activity.
