Scrabulousity

On Monday my two first graders decided they didn't want to play by the rules and would gang up on me in Scrabble. OK. To keep things fair, I gave them free pick of all the tiles, I went first, played by the rules myself, and only used words they know. Then I got 74 points on "FREEZE" with a triple letter score on Z and a double word score. They played a good game, though, effectively using as many points modifiers as possible. It was much more fun than any of my other classes which can't seem to get beyond two- and three-letter words.
