Letter Q Word Scramble Worksheet

Hey teachers! Here's a quirky word scramble I put together focusing on words that start with Q - always a tricky letter for kids to master. This 2-page printable has 15 Q words ranging from simple ("queen") to challenging ("quintuplets").

I made this last month when my second graders kept mixing up "quiet" and "quite." The activity really helped them focus on Q words. You'll find common vocabulary like "quick" and "question" alongside some fun surprises ("quicksand" is always a hit!).

Great for:

• Letter Q phonics practice

• Vocabulary building

• Early finishers

• Substitute teacher plans

Page 1 has the scrambled words with picture clues for younger students. Page 2 is your answer key - because who has time to unscramble "quarantine" on the fly?

What works well in my class:

• Having kids highlight the "qu" in each word

• Timing them to add excitement

• Letting them work in "quiet" pairs (get it?)

Word difficulty levels:
Easy: quiz, quilt
Medium: quiver, quartz
Hard: quizzical

Format: PDF (2 pages - worksheet + answers)

Teacher tip: Keep a "Q word" chart going after this activity - my kids found 23 more Q words that week!
