Father’s Day Word Unscramble

This printable word unscramble is a fun, low-prep way to keep kids engaged while celebrating all things Dad.

It includes two versions to suit different ages or skill levels, making it perfect for classrooms, family gatherings, or quiet time at home.

Younger kids can start with the easier version, which has all the answers printed around the border to help them along.

It’s a gentle introduction to spelling and word recognition with a fun Father’s Day twist.

Clues such as “JUNE,” “APPRECIATE,” “PARENT,” and “FAMILY” run down the left and right sides in red tabs. The page is decorated with a yellow foam finger that says "#1 Dad," a blue tie labeled “The Best Dad Ever!!!,” and a “Happy Father’s Day” graphic at the bottom.

With no hints besides the theme, it’s a great chance to build problem-solving skills and enjoy some friendly competition.

Each version includes the same 12 dad-themed words, plus an answer key so everyone can check their work (or get a little help when needed).
