Scrabble Games
The term SCRABBLE is very common among students and teacher. Scrabble is a popular word board game, in which two to four players score points by forming words from individual lettered tiles on a 15×15 game board. The words are formed across and down in a crossword fashion, and must appear in a standard dictionary. Official reference works (e.g. The Official Scrabble Player's Dictionary, now in its 4th edition) which provide a list of permissible words, some of which are rarely found in standard English writing, are also available.(Retrieved from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble)

# pelling tests – Divide the class into teams and give each team a set of Scrabble letters. Get them to spread out the letters on the table so they’re all facing up. Then give clues for words you want to test them on, e.g. ‘the day before Wednesday’, students ‘write’ TUESDAY on the table by selecting the scrabble letters. ‘What’s this in English?’ – point to things in the classroom, draw on the board etc. Once students get the idea, ask one of them to lead the game and give the clues instead of you.
# Tenses – If students are learning the past simple tense, give them the sets of letters and you say the infinitive and they write the past simple forms using the letters. Eg. You say ‘go’ students write ‘went’ in scrabble letters.
# Crosswords – Put students in groups and give each group one set of scrabble letters. Ask them to see how many words they can make with their set connecting them up like a crossword.
# How many words can you make in two minutes? In groups students use a set of letters to see how many different words they can make. The winning group makes the most / longest words.
Wanna try, why not? Create a new environment of Teaching Learning Ativities (TLA) through scrabble games and get the advantages on it.
