Flag Word Scramble Worksheet
Hey teachers! Here's a hands-on flag word scramble I use with my 4th graders during social studies. This 2-page printable has 24 terms about flags that kids in grades 3-6 will enjoy unscrambling. You'll find simple words like "pole" and "cloth" mixed with trickier ones like "emblem" and "banner" to keep it interesting.
I made this last Veterans Day when we were studying national symbols. The kids had fun racing to unscramble words while we waited for our assembly to start. The worksheet uses a clean layout with big letters that are easy to read.
Great for:
Flag Day activities
Social studies centers
Patriotic holiday lessons
Morning warm-ups
First page has the scrambled words. Second page is your answer key - super helpful when you need to check work fast. Some of my students work in teams, while others like trying it alone first.
I picked words kids actually encounter when learning about flags: colors, stripes, symbols, plus special terms like "canton" and "halyard." Last year, my class had a great discussion about what "vexillology" means!
Just hit print and you're ready to go. I like using red, white, and blue paper when we do this for Memorial Day.
Sample words:
stars (easy)
hoist (medium)
pennant (challenge)
Format: PDF (2 pages - game + answers)
Teacher tip: Have students underline their toughest word to share with the class!
