We've had plastic letters there before and the kids enjoyed leaving messages (insults) for one another... but I like the idea of the old fashioned tiles. Thanks for the inspiration. I might have a project on my hands for this week.<br /><br />Blessings<br />Dotti ;)Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622521834128746217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-89459203506097131702012-09-01T21:56:52.600-04:002012-09-01T21:56:52.600-04:00Joy,

Both are game apps on my iPad. <br /><br />The object of Moxie is to place words on tiles with letters given one at a time, with extra points given if you form one of the special words on the "Moxie List." You can only form words going across the tiles horizontally.<br /><br />The object of 7 Little Words is to form words that answer 7 clues, using a jumble of letters.<br /><br />Both games are fun and improve my vocabulary. There's an added benefit, Karen--I'm staving off Alzheimer's! <br /><br />Fun post.

I know my daughter's teacher likes to use Taboo in language arts sometimes for that reason.<br /><br />I am also a big fan of those magnetic poetry sets. Sometimes I'll draw a handful of words and build poems around them.
