As I grew older I realized that I don’t care for board games that are group games. I like more one on one type games (because I like one-on-one conversations, too– I am one of those mixed up extroverted introverts). And while Scrabble is not one-on-one, it is close enough for me!
Recently I was thrilled when my 8 year old son wanted to play Scrabble with me. It was my dream come true! Scrabble obviously involves a lot of spelling, so if you don’t enjoy spelling, you won’t enjoy Scrabble. While we played, I realized how much Math is involved, but we won’t tell my son about that!
When I see a giant Scrabble game online, it makes me smile.
I like seeing crafts made with Scrabble pieces, too. So when I see Scrabble games at yard sales or thrift stores, I started buying them for crafts. I even bought a French version! It has different number values for the letters. Eventually I felt like I had enough extra games to craft with them.
This is my idea for a Fridge Magnet Scrabble Game! This would also work if you just wanted a fun way to display a Scrabble game. Just wait until you see how I attached it to the fridge!
What you'll need
Have a question about this project?
I love this idea. Where do you put the extra tiles that you are not using? Do people draw them out of a container?
You could use one of those magnetic "white board marker holders".
Don't you just LOVE thrift stores?!
Oh YES I do!!!
You hit the nail on the head with this nostalgic recycle of my Scrabble childhood dream! Love it and it will be something I will look forward to as I rummage through thrift and garage sales in the future!
Thank you,
Caryl
ps Might even be looking for Boggle in the near future!
That's great to hear, Caryl!
