Scrabble
Submitted by: Sandy Dennis Borrowed or inspired from: Scrabble...the game Date added: 04-17-08 Edited by: Nobody
Brief Outline: Each turn, each group of students receives seven cards. The students place these cards on the floor, forming a word. The next group must form a word from their cards that connects to the previous words.
Materials Needed
- Scrabble01 worksheet - letter cards
- Scrabble02 worksheet - board (optional)
Detailed Explanation:
Create a large floor space. This will become the board game.
Divide the students into groups and decide who plays first. (4-6 people works well)
Give each group seven cards.
The first group places a word on the floor.
The next group places its word on the floor; however, this word must connect to the first word somehow.

After each group places a word, give more letter cards to each group. The groups should always have seven cards when making a word.
Variations: - In the real game of Scrabble, there are Double Letter Scores, Triple Letter Scores, Double Word Scores and Triple Word Scores spots on the game board. Feel free to include these in your game. I have attached a sample Scrabble board. (if you can blow it up to floor size...)
Cautions:
- Groups might become stuck and not be able to play either because they can't make a word or have bad letters. If this happens, you can either pass that team and hope they can play next round. If all the teams become stuck, you can erase the board and start again or remove some of the letters to remove the blockage on the board.
