This game is normally played with Scrabble Tiles but we enlarged them by using 9 inch pizza boxes (picked up from a pizza making supply store). Divide your group into teams of at least 2 and give them a designated location in the room. Place all the tiles faced down in the center of the room. Have each team take 7 tiles. On "Go!" each team must use all their tiles to create a word or words that are connected just the like the game Scrabble. When a team has used all their tiles they yell "take one!" at which every team must run and grab another tile. Sometimes it gets pretty loud so we substitute shouting "take one!" with ringing a bell. The game is over when all the tiles are used up. Scoring is done by counting up all the points on the tiles as you would in Scrabble. Start with all the words spelled vertically and then horizontally. Remember that tiles used in two words are counted twice.Here's a hint, try and use three letter words which would look like this:
c sat tan not bun You get the idea. It works best because each letter gets used twice -- twice the points.
