Relaxing Ritual~ Word Games
” ‘You played this game with your parents?’ he asked skeptically. ‘Yep. And Mom always won, the dirty bitch. I guess being older she’d been around more than me and Carrie,’ Sophie said, extracting replacement tiles from the box. ‘Although I don’t know what Dad’s excuse was. Lack of imagination, I guess. Your turn.’ ” ~Sarah Mayberry
I love words. I especially enjoy a newspaper crossword and a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning before everyone else is up. I’m a bit of a word junkie. Word finds, anagrams, jumbles…you name it, I can’t resist a good word game. As far as board games go, Scrabble and Boggle are at the top of my list. There is something relaxing and invigorating about playing these games. When was the last time you turned the television off, turned on your favorite music, and challenged your hubby and kids to a game of Boggle?
What are your favorite relaxing rituals?

Scrabble & Boggle have always been my favorites too, along with Upwords. And I adore crossword puzzles, word finds and suduko!! Dalton and I played In A Pickle the other night, and Whiz Kidz from Discovery Toys is a great word card game for kids over 8. Coincidently, two of my 101 things was to start playing games with my kids again (once a week) and start hosting game nights with friends!
I love the idea of family game night and game nights with friends! We’ll have to play Scrabble together sometime!
Have you played Bananagrams? I like it much better than Boggle (where I can’t physically move the letters around) or Scrabble (where you sometimes have to wait forever for the other player).
I’ve never played that. Can I buy it on Amazon?
