| Title | Make a Giant Scrabble Game |
| Body | I teach at a school that was designed during the open space craze. Outside of our rooms there is a big cluster area where we do foreign language activities. I got the idea to make a giant scrabble game to use in the cluster. I printed out one letter per 8-1/2 by 11 inch piece of paper (with the point value in the lower right hand corner), glued it to cardboard and then had them laminated. I used the regular Spanish Scrabble game to count how many A´s or Ñ´s etc. that I needed to make. The students are divided into teams of 4 or 5. I start the game off by laying down a Spanish word that is around 7 or 8 letters long vertically on the floor (for example ESPAÑOL or CUADERNO). The team captain goes to the pile and picks 7 letters. Even though there is no "board", and therefore no double or triple word score, the game plays very well anywhere there is a large floor space. The students love to play this game! The team that comes in first gets 5 points, second place 4 points, etc. Extra points are awarded for making any word from our current unit of study. Driskill, D. Re: Foreign language word games.
