Strawberries and cream really is a yummy treat! How many smaller words can you make with the letters in STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM?

Word wheel challenges are a great activity if you have 10 minutes to fill or are stuck inside on a rainy day. You can take as long as you like, or set a challenging time limit! Maybe there could be a small prize for anyone who finds the 9 letter word?

Our word wheel challenges ask kids to find as many words as they can, using the letters only once and always including the letter in the middle of the wheel. If you've found a puzzle from a topic page, it might give you a clue to finding the nine-letter word.

Here's a challenge - to make as many words as possible from the letters in the word wheel, using the letter in the centre every time. There's a nine-letter word to find too, and the kids might feel a bit peckish once they've found it...
