Valentine’s Day Word Scramble Free Printable
A Valentine’s Day word scramble is one of those quick activities that always seems to work, whether it’s a slow February morning or you just need something simple to keep kids focused.
My son used to enjoy trying to “beat the clock” with these, and this version leans slightly more challenging with 13 mixed-up holiday words and no word bank.
It’s easy to print, easy to use, and a nice way to build a bit of spelling and vocabulary practice into the day without making it feel like a full lesson.

What’s Included in the Valentine’s Day Word Scramble
This printable comes with 13 mixed-up Valentine-themed words, arranged from easier starters like hugs to trickier ones like admiration.
I kept the layout clean and left out a word bank so kids get a small challenge without feeling overwhelmed.

Who This Word Scramble Works Well For
This page is a good fit for upper elementary through early middle school, or any group that enjoys word puzzles with a holiday twist.
When my son was younger, he liked trying to beat his own time, so it also works well as a short warm-up, early finisher activity, or something light for February lessons.
Teachers often use this kind of puzzle for independent work, and it fits just as easily into a Valentine’s party or a quiet afternoon at home.
Other Valentine’s Day Printables
If you’re adding a bit more Valentine fun to your plans, these pair well with the word scramble.
Kids who like a quick story-based activity usually enjoy the Valentine’s Day history worksheet, which walks through the legend of St. Valentine in simple steps.
The Valentine’s Day word search is another easy win for quiet work or early finishers.
For something more active, the Valentine scavenger hunt always brings a lot of laughs and works well for mixed ages.
