Scrabble - Enjoy a game of Scrabble with your friends or family! Not only is Scrabble a fun game to play, but it also has a lot of educational value. Without realizing it, players are practicing spelling patterns, syllable types, vocabulary, rules of grammar, logical thinking, sequential planning, and more! Players also gain background knowledge as they chat about their word choices. You can play the traditional Scrabble board game, or play online, or download the app. Have fun!
