Palm Sunday Word Scramble Worksheet

Here's a word scramble activity I made for my Sunday School class to help kids engage with the Palm Sunday story. This straightforward 2-page PDF contains 24 scrambled terms from the biblical account - words like "hosanna," "donkey," and "Jerusalem" that first through fourth graders can unscramble.

I used this last year when teaching about Jesus' triumphal entry. The kids enjoyed racing to solve words while we waited for our palm branch craft supplies to be passed out. You'll find a mix of familiar terms ("crowd," "wave") and more challenging ones ("prophecy," "triumphant") to keep different ages interested.

What's included:
• Page 1: The scramble sheet with large-print words
• Page 2: A clean answer key for leaders

Perfect for:

• Sunday morning classes

• Homeschool Bible lessons

• Church activity packets

• Pre-Easter celebrations

I chose words that actually come up when telling the Palm Sunday story - "cloaks," "praise," and "path" rather than just general Easter terms. Last year, solving "hosanna" led to a great discussion about what the crowds were really shouting.

Format: Simple PDF (2 pages)
Teacher Tip: Have children underline their favorite word to find in the Bible story!
