"Playing With Our Words," a dynamic workshop designed to blend the thrill of Scrabble with the creativity of storytelling and poetry. Over the course of three engaging hours, participants embark on a journey where language becomes both playground and canvas.
The workshop kicks off with a spirited game of Scrabble, where every tile placed on the board becomes a seed for imagination. As words are laid down, they not only score points but also inspire and challenge participants to think critically about language and its expressive potential.
Following the game, participants transition into the creative phase of the workshop. Armed with the words played during Scrabble, they use them as building blocks for crafting original poems or short stories. Whether it's the unexpected juxtaposition of words or the challenge of incorporating a diverse vocabulary, every participant discovers new avenues of expression.
Facilitators encourage lively conversation throughout the workshop, fostering a supportive environment where ideas flow freely. Discussions range from strategic gameplay insights to interpretations of the meanings and emotions evoked by the chosen words. This collaborative exchange not only enhances participants' literacy skills but also deepens their appreciation for the richness of language.
By the end of "Playing With Our Words," participants emerge not only with a newfound appreciation for language but also with a tangible creation—a poem or short story—that reflects their unique perspective and creativity. This workshop is not just about playing a game; it's about discovering the power of words to connect, inspire, and transform.
This event is open to ages 12 - 112, all minors must have adult supervision. Playing With Our Words is a great event for homeschool groups, families, word enthusiasts, writers, and those who love Scrabble.
