I love Boggle!

Man, I don't know about you, but I love playing Boggle with my kids! I learn so much about what is floating around in their heads every time we break out that little plastic box!

For example, my sweet just-finishing-sixth grader found the word "thermic." Thermic. This child has been unschooled since day one and she finds thermic. I still have the bruise from where my jaw dropped so far it hit the table.

Then my oldest. She plays "codicil." No, don't go get a dictionary, it's a real word, I promise. It is a legal instrument used to modify a will. No, she isn't studying law, but she does love words.

Wow.

They need Super Quiet Boggle, with little foam cubes inside that shaker thing. Why does it have to be so LOUD when you shake it?

We play other similar word games, too often on the computer ... we should play boggle. I always liked boggle.

Do you play syzygy and/or bananagrams? (they're essentially the same game)

Neither. Never heard of 'em. But I LOVE the word syzygy! Very cool.
