Default Re: Using scrabble tiles

Here's a game you can play. When I play it, I have a set of cards with letters on them , but Scrabble tiles should work too.

Depending on the level of your students, start with either 2 or 3 tiles and place them on a table one at a time. After the tiles are on the table, the first student to think of a word with both/all letters in it will get to take the tiles. The game continues until time or tiles have run out. The person with the most tiles collected wins.

For example, if you put down tiles B D L, the students can say badly, bridal, etc.
I like that idea! I might try it out but just have the students make a word out of the available tiles. So, increase the number of tiles to 7-10 and it becomes more like scrabble. But again the students get to keep the tiles if they can make a word and then just keep adding tiles to the game.

If the students can't make any words just add one tile at a time until they can.
