World Centres "Scrabble" Game


World Centres "Scrabble" Game

I am not sure where I found this game.
If you know who created it, please let me know so I can give credit.



Equipment:
·         set of scrabble letters in bag
·         question cards
·         answer pages
·         one die per group

This game is played in small groups.
The girls are at a table, the questions are on a table at the other end of the room.
The leader holds the bag with the scrabble letters.
A "magic" number is chosen.
One girl in each group rolls the die until she rolls the magic number; then she (or any group member) runs to get a question.  The question is brought back to the group to discuss the answer.
The question is then taken to the leader to give the answer; if correct, she draws a letter from the bag and takes it back to the group.
As she is doing this, the group can be rolling the die for the next question.

Several ways to play:
- predetermine a word that must be spelled with the letters drawn
- use the letters drawn to make up multiple words relating to the World Centres
