Instructions

Supplies Used: Adhesive, Cardboard, chipboard or recycled gift boxes, Construction paper, Stickers or white pen

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

Using the chart that shows the value of each letter and how many of each letter you will need, die-cut the 4" Block Alphabet Capital Letters from white construction paper making as many letters as you need.
Cut cardboard, chipboard or recycled gift boxes into 6" x 6" pieces for the game tiles.
Cut a 1" x 6" strip of construction paper. This will act as a guide to align the letters on the game tiles.
Adhere the letters to the tiles using the guide strip.
Place a value for each letter using stickers or a white pen beside the letter (Main Photo).
Each student can take five or six tiles, place them on the classroom floor or outside on the lawn or asphalt and start the game.
As students create a word, they will keep score of the value from the tiles they have used.
This is a great way to celebrate National Puzzle Day, to play indoors on a rainy day or outside on the lawn or asphalt on sunny days. This game is sure to brighten any day!
