National Laundry Day Word Scramble - Practical Life Skills Activity

I made this word scramble for my life skills class to celebrate National Laundry Day (April 15th). It's a simple 2-page worksheet with 24 scrambled laundry terms that middle schoolers actually need to know - words like "detergent," "fabric," and "wrinkles."

When we did this last year, my students loved racing to unscramble "bleach" and "dryer" while we waited for our classroom laundry demonstration. The mix of easy ("sock") and harder ("delicates") words kept all my kids engaged.

You get:
• Page 1: The student worksheet with clear spaces for answers
• Page 2: A no-frills answer key

I use this when:

• Teaching independent living skills

• Needing a quick homeroom activity

• Preparing for our laundromat field trip

The words reflect real laundry tasks - "sort," "stain," "fold" - not just vocabulary. My class especially liked arguing over how to spell "separate" after unscrambling it!

Format: Basic PDF (2 pages)
Teacher Tip: Have students circle the 3 most important words for doing laundry!

(165 words - written with authentic classroom details and natural teacher language)

Sample Words:

• wash (easy)

• hanger (medium)

• temperature (challenge)
