Word Play Workshop (July 1 – July 3)

(ALL DAY: for ages 7-9) All work and no play makes for a dull writer. Come stretch your language brain in this camp where we will uncover the magic in words! We’ll write anagrams and palindromes, or find many little words within one big word. We will play games like Boggle, Scrabble, Taboo, or Hangman, then pencil our way through a word search, a crossword puzzle, or an acrostic. We will stretch our vocabulary, improve our spelling, and play with words by writing special kinds of poems or short-short stories. We might walk away with puzzles and facts that will amaze our friends and families. Most of all, we will learn that words are the key building blocks in all good writing. And we’ll have some “word-while” fun along the way.
