National Pretzel Day Word Scramble - A Tasty Classroom Activity!

Hey fellow teachers! Here's a fun word scramble I made for National Pretzel Day (April 26th) that my 3rd graders absolutely loved last year. It's a simple 2-page PDF with 24 pretzel-themed words ranging from easy ("salt") to challenging ("bavarian") to keep all your students engaged.

I used this during our snack break when we tried different pretzel shapes, and the kids had a blast shouting out the words they unscrambled first. The words are all things kids actually know from pretzels - "knot," "twist," "dough," and even "mustard" for dipping!

You get:
• Page 1: The word scramble with plenty of writing space
• Page 2: An answer key for quick checking

Perfect for:

• Celebrating food holidays

• Indoor recess activities

• Spelling practice with a fun twist

• Time-fillers before lunch

I printed mine on tan paper to look like pretzel dough, and we displayed the completed sheets on our "Yummy Work" bulletin board. The word "cinnamon" sparked a great math discussion about fractions when we divided up cinnamon-sugar pretzels!

Format: No-fuss PDF (2 pages)
Teacher Tip: Have students circle their favorite pretzel type from the words they unscramble!
