HOW WE GO ABOUT
Children from the 5th Standard upwards are familiarized with the
Rules, Dictionaries of Reference, Strategy and Tactics. A group
of 30 to 40 children will be the ideal number for a session. Two
periods of 40 to 45 minutes each will suffice for a session to tune
the children into the game. Children will be encouraged to play
the game during the session (we call this exercise SCRABBLE CLINIC).
We are glad to find many Teachers taking active
interest in the game. With their guidance, children can be initiated
into the nitty-gritty of the game such as: Landing big plays, Anagrams,
Rack Balance, Tile Turnover, Body language, etc.
Scrabble Clinic is followed by a School specific
Tourney (Scrabble Tourney for students of the individual School)
in which children will play about 5 to 6 games, Teachers and Children
will be encouraged to conduct the event themselves.
We will be delighted to help the Schools to
start their own School Scrabble Clubs, include Scrabble as one of
the extra curricular activities and conduct School Championships
on annual basis, This, we hope, will stand their children in good
stead in the city - Specific Tourneys and the Nationals.
