Scrabble

Although the game is listed for ages 8 years and up, Santa Claus brought a Scrabble game to my 6 1/2 year old daughter this year.  We've played a few times since Christmas.  But we play on a low key kind of basis.  First of all, we don't do any scoring at all.  Secondly, we don't hide our letters from one another.  Our letters are visible to each other.  I show my daughter how I work out different word possibilities and I help her with her word tries.  Each game is better than the last.  I can see her sounding our possible combinations.  Also, sometimes for short periods of time my 4 year old son will join in.  He can join in when he wants and leave when he wants.
