Classroom Scrabble! An Interactive Way to Manipulate and Learn Words and A GIVEAWAY!!

In the days leading up to Christmas break, I've been playing Classroom Scrabble with my 7th and 8th graders as they finish their work. Being a Title I teacher, I have 7th and 8th graders during their study hall time. I was looking for a way to keep them entertained after they finish their work during this time, but I wanted the entertainment to be educational. So, I created a bulletin board sized Scrabble game!

The students play against me and they LOVE it! Now, this works out great because it's all of the students against me, the teacher. So, no matter what study hall it is, if there is one person done with his or her work, that person can play a word; if it's more than one student, they can work together to play words. We've had a lot of fun with it, and I can't even count how many games we've played since school started! I think this is a fun, interactive way for my students to work with words, and a bonus: they have to do math to figure out their scores! :)

I just taped the board on top of my current whiteboard, then I printed the letters on magnetic paper, but there's a number of different ways to print and use this product. If you think this is something you can use, especially now as Christmas break nears...head on over to my TPT store and check it out:
