Memories & Yearbook Word Scramble – Unscramble the School Year

I made this for my 5th graders during the chaotic last week of school, and it turned into the perfect nostalgia trip. Students race to unscramble 24 memory-packed terms like "autographs," "field day," and "graduation"—then use them to create hilarious "Remember When..." stories. (Cue the giggles when someone solved "SHIPCLUN" (lunchips) and recalled the Great Cafeteria Ketchup Explosion!)

What You Get:
✔ 2 printable pages (scramble + answer key)
✔ Bonus "Top 3 Memories" comic strip (students illustrate their favorites)
✔ Yearbook-style clipart (crayon borders, smiley stickers)

Teacher Tale:
“A usually quiet student yelled ‘I GOT “SSAPROTUGUA”!’ (autographs) and suddenly everyone was signing shirts!” – Mr. L., Elementary School

Perfect For:
• Yearbook signing days
• End-of-year assemblies
• Keepsake folders

Sample Scrambles:

• YADLEIF (Answer: fielday)

• NOITADARUG (Answer: graduation)

• SROOMICH (Answer: chorism)

Pro Tip:
Pair with your actual yearbook—students circle classmates who match scrambled traits (“Who’s ‘TACRTISET’ (artistic)? Find them and get their autograph”)
