Although youпїЅll never run out of pre-made ESL worksheets when you use BusyTeacher.orgпїЅs huge library, sometimes you just want to put together an activity of your own. But putting together an activity in your word processor or spreadsheet program takes time. Where can you turn when you need to help your class practice the vocabulary words or idioms youпїЅve been teaching them, but youпїЅre in a rush to plan your lesson?

Turn to BusyTeacher.orgпїЅs word scramble maker, of course! This free online tool makes creating word scrambles for your class a snap. Just type in a word or phrase, click пїЅPreview,пїЅ and presto! YouпїЅve got a whole page of word scrambles - no two alike - ready to print, clip, and hand out to your students. It couldnпїЅt be any easier - and itпїЅs totally free to use as much as you like.

These word scrambles are easy to attempt, but not so easy to solve - which means theyпїЅll keep your students busy for a while. WeпїЅll scramble the word or phrase you entered, letter by letter, into a set of boxes. ItпїЅll be up to your students to arrange the letters into the right boxes, and divide up the result into actual English words. Along the way, theyпїЅll get practice with correct English spelling, and theyпїЅll get used to the look of the words on the page, so theyпїЅll be able to recognize them more quickly in their reading assignments.

HereпїЅs an idea: try using BusyTeacher.orgпїЅs free word scramble maker to create word scrambles based on themed vocabulary words. Working through a unit on holidays, or animals, or vacation spots? Just type in the relevant vocabulary words, and we do the rest! In a flash, youпїЅll have a whole stack of unique word scrambles, all nicely formatted and ready to print. YouпїЅll even get the answer sheet for each word scramble we generate - on a separate page, so your students canпїЅt peek at it.

This website is maintained by a community of ESL teachers around the globe - teachers just like you, who work hard to create the activities they use in their lessons, and want to share the results of that hard work with each other - and with you.
