Unscramble And Write

Worksheet Description

This educational worksheet is designed to engage students with the cultural significance of the “Day of the Dead,” a traditional Mexican holiday that honors deceased loved ones. The top of the sheet features a colorful banner with Day of the Dead motifs, including a vibrant, decorative skull—a typical symbol of the celebration. On the right, there’s a friendly depiction of a skeleton dog, which adds a playful touch to the theme. The activity encourages students to unscramble words that are associated with the holiday and then use these words to write a paragraph about the Day of the Dead.

The worksheet provides a list of jumbled words: “itfseva,” “ixeocm,” “sisu,” “eeeaedcsd,” “eeecclbrt,” “lrfiouc,” “vearg,” “wrsfoel,” and “ktenoels.” Once unscrambled, these words become “festival,” “mexico,” “souls,” “deceased,” “celebrate,” “crucifix,” “grave,” “flowers,” and “skeletons,” respectively. The lines below the word list invite students to compose their paragraph, guiding them to reflect on how these words relate to the customs and traditions of the Day of the Dead. The exercise not only enhances vocabulary and writing skills but also provides an educational glimpse into a significant cultural event that is observed with respect and festivity.
