Child Abuse Prevention Month Word Scramble - Important Learning Activity

I developed this word scramble for my 5th grade health classes during April's Child Abuse Prevention Month. It's a thoughtful 2-page resource featuring 24 age-appropriate terms like "safe," "trust," and "speak up" that help students discuss personal safety in a comfortable way.

The scrambled words include:
• Basic safety concepts ("rules")
• Emotion words ("feelings")
• Help resources ("counselor")

I use this activity when:

• Introducing our safety unit

• Needing a calm discussion starter

• Preparing for guidance counselor visits

The worksheet has:

1. A cleanly formatted scramble page

2. A straightforward answer key

Last year, my students worked in pairs to solve words like "boundaries" and "helping," which led to great conversations about trusted adults. I printed them on blue paper (the prevention color) and played soft music while they worked.

Format: Simple PDF (2 pages)
Teacher Note: I always offer the school psychologist's contact info after this lesson.
