My appreciation for the visual side of communications goes back to the 3rd grade.

My spelling skills are another story.


Yesterday, a stranger flagged me down and said we were wearing the exact same “mom outfit.” But she was wrong.

Her Dansko clogs were blue.


Words With Fridges: fun and games with cooling appliances

Looking for some entertainment? To expand your vocabulary? Look no farther than your kitchen. To play Words With Fridges, you need two things:

1.  LeapFrog’s Fridge Phonics

2. A fridge

While there’s no wrong way to play Words With Fridges, I do recommend against using Magnetic Poetry. That’s so 90′s.

Ready? Let’s begin.

Words With Fridges

At first, having 26 characters without any doubles may feel limiting, but you will find there are plenty of words left in the dictionary to spell. You simply need to figure out a technique. To warm up, I recommend playing with context.

Then feel free to be as irreverent as you want.

Or cerebral.

The point is to have fun, after all.

Especially if you have young children in the house.

And maybe don’t talk to as many adults as you once did.

Anyway, to add another layer to Words With Fridges, simply add a LeapFrog Fridge Farm. This 2.0 version provides animal hybrid functionality.

Words With Fridges is not for everyone. But it’s quite easy to spot those who are unimpressed by the game.

Take it or leave it, you will find that Words With Fridges gets more fun and challenging over time, more so if you kick a vowel or two way under the fridge. You can even mix it up and play on your dishwasher. Or your dryer.

I’d spell “lost sock” here, but I couldn’t find a spare “o.”

 


Got a sweet tooth? Go straight. Meat lovers, hook a right.

Happy fall!

I suppose sending carrier pigeons to 750 million members would have been inefficient from a cost perspective. And messy.
