Description

This is a fun game that plays a bit like scrabble or dominoes. White tiles have either the beginning of a word in pink or the end of a word in blue printed on them. Start with all tiles face down on the table. Players take turns flipping a tile and claiming it. If they can make a word, they snap the pieces together and get another tile. Continue until all the tiles are gone and the player with the most words wins. You can make your own variations too, like stealing a tile from another player! A card with all word combinations and one with clear instructions are included. It's simple and quick fun for an early reader! Play with 2-3 people or independently, like a learning center activity. Tile pieces are roughly 1" x1". ~Sara
