ANAGRAM PUZZLES -- SOMETHING FROM THE BAG OF SCHOOL DAY FUN


Anagram Puzzles


Anagrams are a terrific tool for stimulating students to think critically.

Write the four phrases below on a board or chart. The letters in each phrase can be rearranged to spell a word. The words all have something in common. Challenge students to figure out the four words and what the words have in common.

Adapt the activity for younger students: To make the activity easier, tell students what the words have in common or arrange students in pairs to solve the anagram puzzles.

TRAITS

Answers: pilot, artist, dentist, and gardener are all jobs

    These are indeed great things for everyone to do. Amen on the eye-opener post you had up but is now gone. I am truly thankful I live in the USA. Have a great day honey. :)
