Thank you so much. Scrabble is a board-
and-tile in which two to four players
compete in forming words with lettered
on a 225-square board. The words spelled
out by letters on the tiles interlock like
words in a crossword puzzle.

Scrabble’s journey began in 1938 when

architect Alfred Mosher Butts crafted a
game blending anagrams and crossword
puzzles.

Can someone please read the slide?

Crosswords”, it struggled until

rights and renamed to “Scrabble”.

marketed it in 1948. The game was first
sold in Great Britain in 1954 and became
a household staple. Years had passed,

States since 1973.

to pay a lot of attention to the blocks of
words on hand. Also, players are forced to
think more creatively and create words
that are not present on the board.

I asked earlier who among you is familiar

with the game. And some of you are still
not familiar. We will now discuss the
game instructions, the needed materials
and equipment, and the terms you need to
remember.

such as double letter score, double word

equipment for you to play scrabble. The

100 tiles: 98 tiles with letters of alphabet
and two blank tiles. Each of the letters has
score values. The two blank tiles have no
score value and can be used as any letter
desired.

Can anyone tell me how to start the game?

Yes, April?
To start the game, every player will start
their turn by drawing seven tiles from the
bag. Then each player will take another

star offers a double word score.

Good question. Once tiles are played on Ma’am, how can we replace the scrabble

replace those. Players will always have
seven tiles during the game.

There are three ways to form a new word:

1) by adding one or more letters to an
existing or letters. 2) placing a word at
right angles to word already on the board.
The new word must use one of the letters
already on the board or add a letter to it.
3) placing a complete word parallel to a
word already played so that adjacent
letters also form a complete word.

The next term is passing. What do you

mean by passing?
PASSING – a player may pass their turn
by not exchanging tiles and not making a

score is 0.

Note that when there are 6 consecutive

scores of zero in a game, the game is
finished.

Next term is challenge. Please read the

definition

Why abbreviation is not valid?

Because abbreviation is not a word,

Yes, that is correct. Abbreviations such as ma’am.
etc. and bldg., are not valid.
In a scrabble game, there is a term called
bingo. Can someone please read the
meaning? BINGO – any word played that uses all

example, you will pick 7 tiles and those 7
tiles will create a 1 word, you can call it a

Is there any question? Yes, Matt?

game will end and the player with highest
score wins.

When the game ends, each player will

count all points that are remaining on their
tiles that have not been played. This
amount will be deducted from the final
score.

Did I answer all your questions?

Any questions? Clarifications? Yes, ma’am!

Generalization None, Ma’am!

If you truly understood our topic for
today, can someone tell me what scrabble
is?
Perfect! So, how do we begin the game?
Scrabble is a word game in which two or
four players score points by forming
words from individual lettered tiles.
We will begin the game by picking one
tile inside the box and the player that has

the letter that is closes to “A” will begin
the game.
Once all tiles are gone from the bag and a
single player has placed all of their tiles,
the game will end and the player with the
highest score wins.

This activity is called “Play with me!”. (Student will do the activity)
First you need to find a partner since you

more pairs to play with. I will give you 10
