Women's History Month Word Scramble – Unscramble HERstory

I created this for my 5th grade class when they asked why we only learned about famous men. Now they race to unscramble 24 trailblazing names and terms like "Ruth Bader Ginsburg," "suffrage," and "STEM"—then match them to their achievements (page 2). The room erupted when someone solved "LAMALA" (Malala) and the whole class started chanting "Education for all!"

What’s Inside:
✔ 2 inspiring pages (scramble + answer key)
✔ Bonus "Modern Heroines" activity (connect today’s leaders to past pioneers)
✔ Diverse clipart (scientists, artists, activists)

Teacher Triumph:
“A boy scrambled ‘GOODALL’ and announced he’d ‘be like Jane’ with his science fair project!” – Ms. R., STEM Teacher

Perfect For:
• March Women’s History Month
• Biography research starters
• “When I Grow Up” discussions

Sample Scrambles:

• VINGSURGB (Answer: Ginsburg)

• TIVISTAC (Answer: activist)

• REEWONP (Answer: pioneer)

Classroom Hack:
Turn your door into a “Wall of Fame”—add each solved name with student-drawn portraits
