My grandma started playing with me before I could spell. I just got to put down a few tiles each turn. It helped me learn how the game worked. I love scrabble to this day. </p> <p>@KT326: teams is a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-scrabble-with-kids#post-2565076 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 09:53:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2565076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have another word game that is just cards with letters and you spell out sight words. I'll try to find it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-scrabble-with-kids#post-2565070 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 09:46:11 +0000 808love 2565070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Scrabble and can't wait to play LO. BAnanagrams is similar and easy to score. LO is such a word buff. She is going to like this game!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-scrabble-with-kids#post-2564738 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 18:23:07 +0000 KT326 2564738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: @mrbee: I remember having so much fun playing a "grown up" game! The words we used were pretty simple most of the time but as I got better at it I could start finding more complex words on my own. We also kept a dictionary handy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-scrabble-with-kids#post-2564732 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 18:16:25 +0000 mrbee 2564732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: ooh teams, that is genius!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-scrabble-with-kids#post-2564729 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 18:14:34 +0000 jhd 2564729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: that's a good idea to play in teams! </p> <p>@mrbee: I have always loved word games so yes I remember enjoying it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-scrabble-with-kids#post-2564727 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 18:10:08 +0000 KT326 2564727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We played regular scrabble when I was that age, I usually teamed up with one parent and we played against the other (most often it was me and my dad against my mom). When I was around 8 or 9 I started playing on my own with very little help from a parent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-scrabble-with-kids#post-2564716 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:59:26 +0000 mrbee 2564716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: Oh neat! Was it a fun game for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-scrabble-with-kids#post-2564715 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:57:32 +0000 jhd 2564715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: we had a scrabble junior when I was little and it had two sides. One like regular scrabble where you spell your own words and another side where the words were already there and you had to cover up the letters with your tiles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-scrabble-with-kids#post-2564711 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:53:27 +0000 mrbee 2564711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night we had a friend over to play Scrabble, and both of my kids were sooo enraptured by it! My son made me promise to let him play Scrabble today... but I think it might be too hard for him (he is 6 1/2).</p> <p>Apparently there's is a Scrabble Jr. version - has anyone played that one before? Or maybe there's an iPad app that's Scrabble-esque that's suitable for kids.</p> <p>How old do you think kids have to be before they can play Scrabble? </p>
