EARLY FINISHER ACTIVITIES • WORD PLAY • GRADES 4–6

Early Finisher Activities–Word Play Task Cards • Grades 4–6


You can never have too many “early finisher” activities on hand for students who finish a test before time is up or complete a class assignment early. These no-prep EARLY FINISHER ACTIVITIES for Grades 4–6 are ideal to have ready at a learning center to challenge your early finishers.

The set includes four challenging language activities in each of the following areas:
• Anagrams
• One Word Away
• Word Scavenger Hunt
• Missing Letters
• Animal Offspring and Groups
• Hide a Word
• This and That

Students write their responses on a separate sheet of paper. Blank Task Cards are included so you can individualize additional task cards. Also included in this set are:
• a Student Record Sheet (so students can keep track of the task
cards they have completed)
• an Answer Key
• an Award Certificate for completion of the unit

In addition to using these Word Play Task Cards for your early finishers, they are great for:
• morning warm-up activities
• learning center activities
• extra credit
• homework assignments
• instant activities for substitutes

The Task Cards look awesome in full color but also reproduce well in grayscale. Download the Task Cards, laminate them for extra durability, and cut them apart to use at a center or on a bulletin board.
