We had a fun time at Travis and Andrea‘s last night!  We taught them how to play Fast Scrabble and enjoyed eating Andrea’s amazing homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Vera had a blast too!

How to Play Fast Scrabble

Place all tiles face down on the table (or floor).  Everyone draws seven tiles and turns them over when the game begins.  Each person forms their own crossword puzzle using only their tiles.  The first person to finish their crossword calls out “draw two!”  Everyone draws two more tiles.  This continues until all of the tiles have been drawn.  The first person to finish their crossword puzzle at this point is the winner!  As in traditional Scrabble, no foreign words, contractions, proper nouns, or slang words are allowed.  It’s lots of fun!
