Scrabble tiles game on chalkboard
By Judy24

Clip to ScrapBook   
I can't find the site right now (it's on the school laptop at school) but this keeps my guys busy for a bit. The site shows 7 scrabble tiles and the point total for each tile. I draw the tiles on the board with the point total for each tile so on the board I may have C3, C3, E1, R1, O1, N1, T1. I make the numbers smaller to look like scrabble tiles. The kids get 5 minutes to make as many words as they can. They get 20 bonus points for using all 7 letters. After time is up then they add up the points. The one with the most points is the winner. Then we do another word. I just leave my squares up and erase letters and values. Sometimes I play with the kids, but sometimes it's just enough so that I can get things done in 5 minute increments.
