I love word puzzles. They’re a great, no-prep, screen-free activity you can feel good about giving your kids. Today I’m sharing a free printable St. Patrick’s Day word scramble in color and ink-saving black and white. Both versions come with the answer key so you can help your child, even if you don’t want to personally solve the puzzle.

The benefits of word jumbles
Word games are so beneficial for people of all ages! Word puzzles are particularly beneficial for children, English language learners, and older adults.
Playing word games can improve:

- Attention to detail
- Spelling skills
- Word discrimination abilities
- Problem solving skills

How to use your printable St. Patrick’s Day word scramble
This post includes affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission on purchases made through links at no additional cost to you.
First, download your preferred word scramble. The same puzzle is available with a shamrock background or in ink-saving black and white. Download links are below!
Print your printable. For colored printables, I prefer to use presentation paper. It’s a type of heavyweight paper with a special coating for vibrant colors.
Next, you may want to laminate your printable or place it in a dry erase pocket. Kids learn through repetition, so they may want to do the same puzzle more than once. If you homeschool, laminating or using a dry erase pocket allows you to reuse the same printable again next year or with other children.
Finally, give your child the word scramble! The answer bank is not included on the printable. If you want to make the puzzle a bit easier, you can give your child an answer key. Write it out or just copy/paste the list below!
The puzzle features 10 St. Patrick’s Day-related words to unscramble:
- Dublin
- Irish
- Ireland
- Leprechaun
- Lucky
- March
- Rainbow
- Saint
- St Patrick
- Shamrock
