LET’S PLAY SCRABBLE.
Scrabble Practice Round.

 

• Each person draws a letter. The letter closest to A goes first. (Blank beats A.)
• Draw continues clockwise (to the left) after that.
• If no one volunteers, the person with the letter farthest from A is scorekeeper.
• Put those letters back and draw seven (7) each.
• Keep score like this (don’t write what’s in the parentheses):

 

Jimmy (First Player) 17 (first turn) 6  (second turn) 23 (total so far) 14 (third turn) 37 (total so far)

Johnny (Second Player) 23 15 38 7 45

 

• First player must put the word down with a letter on the Star (2x word)  in the middle.
• Left to right, top to bottom; not diagonal, not bottom to top!
• Suggestion: no more than 2 minutes per person.
• NO! NO! NO!
