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:
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.
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.”
Who doesn’t appreciate an email notification about getting less email notifications?
I suppose sending carrier pigeons to 750 million members would have been inefficient from a cost perspective. And messy.
According to Amazon, some parents should put down their books.
That Go the F@ to Sleep book has hit a nerve that resonates with the majority of sleep-deprived parents out there. It’s relatable. It’s funny. Plus, it rhymes. How could it not be a success?
But if you look that book up on Amazon, the laughter will be short lived as the recommendations are anything but uplifting.
Parenthood is more than just sleepless, whiny children who can be raised to perfection through guilt and manipulation. (With zombies!)
While I’m all for reading regularly, if you find yourself buying lots of these books, I’d recommend going to the beach. Fly a kite. Make sandcastles. Splash in tidal pools. I truly believe there’s a link between having well-behaved children and doing fun activities together as a family.
Plus, after a day of sun, fun and sand, most young children will fall asleep faster than you can read Goodnight Moon.
When motherhood and advertising and greasy snack chips collide.
I had the honor of being interviewed for a post on creativeskirts.com. (And, yes, I am that much of a Frito-Lay fan.)
