General Birthday Words
Your birthday word scramble game can consist of general birthday words such as "celebrate," "birthday party" and "presents." General word scrambles are ideal for parties that do not have a theme. To play, set up teams of two or more and give each team a word scramble worksheet. On your mark, the teams will race through the words and compete against the others to see who finishes first, and gets all of the words correct.
Spa Party Scrambles
If you are hosting a spa birthday party, work some spa-related terms into your word scramble puzzle. For instance, "pedicure," "facial," "massage," "pampering" and "beauty" are words that tie into a spa party theme. Party guests can work on their word scrambles individually while they get pedicures. For added excitement, give the girl who finishes her scramble first a free nail polish as a take-home gift.
Sports Scrambles
A sports scramble is a word scramble game that involves sports-related phrases. This quiet activity may be just what you need after a couple of hours of hosting a sports-themed birthday party for a group of boys. Take a break from the athletic games and activities to give the guys a chance to wind down before it's time for cake and presents. They will enjoy a word scramble that is full of their favorite sports terms and professional athletes.
Fairy Tale Word Scramble
A fairy tale word scramble is ideal for princess parties with young girls. As part of the activity, put on a fairy tale movie for the girls at the party to watch as they unscramble the words that are relevant to princesses and fairy tales, such as "moat," "princess," "castle" and "fairy godmother."
Adult Versions
You can play word scramble games at adult birthday parties, too. Themes such as "over the hill" go over well with those who have a sense of humor about getting older. An over the hill themed word scramble may include words like "old fart," "walking cane" and "adult diapers."
