Spring Decoder Wheel – Free Printable Activity

Try this fun free printable activity with your kids this spring! They’ll use a spring decoder wheel to solve four spring-themed riddles! 

Spring is here and the kids are at home. If you’re like me, easy printable activities have been a life-saver these last few weeks. My kids love decoder activities and I love making them, so I decided to add a new one to the collection, this time a spring decoder wheel!

Use the decoder wheel to solve four spring-themed riddles! This is a great activity for kids of all ages and excellent letter practice for younger kiddos. 

I created the decoder wheel using my sweet spring time illustrations that are also featured on my Spring Time BINGO cards! Grab the 6 free boards (or the entire 30 card set in my shop) and have a day filled with fun spring activities! 

Spring Decoder Wheel

Supplies Needed: 

• Free printable located at the end of this post
• Scissors
• Pushpin or something to poke a hole
• Brad

Setting Up the Activity

Download the free packet at the end of this post and print the first two pages (the third is an answer sheet). The decoder wheel is simple to put together. First, cut out both circles. Layer the two circles together lining up the letters with the pictures (I like to line them up with the S pointing to the sun since this is where it will need to be to solve). Carefull poke a hole through both layers in the center using something sharp like a pushpin. Add a brad to hold the two circles together. The brad will allow the wheel to spin!

To solve the riddles, kids will need to line up the letter “S” with the sun picture. 

I hope your kids enjoy this cheery spring activity! You’ll find more free printables, free patterns, and free SVG cut files under my “freebies” section including more decoder wheels!! I love decoder wheels and have created them for different holidays and occasions.
