Holy Saturday Word Scramble – A Thoughtful Easter Activity

I made this word scramble for my Sunday School class to help kids understand Holy Saturday. It's a simple 2-page PDF with 24 terms about this important day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. You'll find words like "tomb," "waiting," "silence," and "preparation" all mixed up for students to solve.

When I used this with my 4th-6th graders last year, it sparked great conversations about what Jesus' followers might have felt during this quiet day. The words range from easy ("cross") to more challenging ("resurrection") to keep different ages engaged.

What's included:
• Page 1: The scramble worksheet with clear spaces for answers
• Page 2: An answer key for quick checking

Perfect for:

• Easter weekend church programs

• Homeschool Bible lessons

• Religious education classes

• Quiet reflection time before Easter

I chose words that help explain Holy Saturday's meaning - not just Easter terms. Last year, my students were surprised to unscramble "vigil" and learn about traditional Easter vigil services.

Format: Basic PDF (2 pages)
Teacher Tip: Have students underline their favorite word and share why it's meaningful.
