Good Friday Word Scramble - Meaningful Holiday Activity

I made this word scramble for my Sunday School class last year when I needed a simple but thoughtful Good Friday activity. It's a basic 2-page PDF with 24 scrambled terms related to the Easter story - words like "cross," "sacrifice," and "Jerusalem" that kids hear during Holy Week services.

The words range from familiar ("prayer") to more challenging ("resurrection") to work for different ages. I printed them on cream paper to keep the solemn tone of Good Friday, and the children worked on them quietly before our Tenebrae service.

You'll get:
• Page 1: The scramble with clear, large-print words
• Page 2: Straightforward answer key

I use this when:

• Teaching about Holy Week

• Needing a quiet reflection activity

• Preparing children for Easter services

The words come straight from our church's Passion reading - "disciple," "betrayal," "tomb" - not just generic Easter terms. Last year, the word "forgiveness" led to a powerful discussion after the kids unscrambled it.

Format: Simple PDF (2 pages)
Tip: Have students underline the word that means most to them!
