Scrabble

Scrabble is a very popular board game that everyone seems to own or has owned at one time or another. I just bought one for my family for christmas. It is a very nice set.

It is a foldable plastic case with magnets to keep it closed. It has storage trays in it to keep the letters and trays in. The last one I owned had a cardboard board and came in a box that eventually broke. We lost most of the pieces so we were due for a new one.

Scrabble isn't hard to play but you have to have a good memory for spelling words. You should have a dictionary handy to ensure that the words are spelled correctly.

There are versions available to play online. They are fun but not as much fun as a game with friends or family. It gets interesting when you have a smarty in the bunch, I love people who can spell well and create long words. Fun,Fun,Fun.

Re: Scrabble

Speaking of playing games, my three kids and myself sat down and played Clue today. My son had gotten the game for Christmas. I had not played the game since I was young. We had so much fun playing together. This is definitely something we will be playing a lot together.

I also like scrabble a lot. We don't currently have the game but it would be fun to play as a family as well as Clue. I may have to get it!

Re: Scrabble

Scrabble is a great game to play with your children. It not only gets the family to sit down and enjoy an evening together, but helps them with spelling. Sometimes they don't realize they're learning while they play, because they're having so much fun!!

Re: Scrabble

I love to play word games!! Scrabble is great to play with friends and family. I like an online game called text twist. The words are scrambled and you have to make all the words you can and have to get the word that uses all the letters to continue. It does keep the mind sharp.
