Spring Code Words Setup
For this activity you will need:
Paper
Printer
Writing tools for the decoded answer
Optional: Laminator
Below are the supplies I use personally at home. After doing so many printable activities, I’ve found that it’s most helpful to always have these basic supplies on hand.

Playing This Fun Spring Vocabulary Game
Print out the decoder and the code word sheets. Cut up the code words into individual strips. I would suggest laminating them so that they can be used many times with a dry erase marker.
There are 2 ways to play this game as I have also included a recording sheet for you. The code words and decoder can be placed in the middle of a table where each child can pick up one strip at a time. They can write their answer on the code word strips themselves (there is a box for each decoded letter) or they can write their answers on the separate recording sheet so that the code word strips are available to be placed back in the center of the table for the next child. The recording sheet would be a good idea for small groups.
