Chain Letters: The Word Game With a Hook - Board Game

Sure, you can think of a word to spell, but can you find the letters you need and hook them together without dropping your chain? Liveliness and skill combine to make Chain Letters a unique word game that the whole family will enjoy. Everyone will be hooked! Some assembly required.

Word games are fun and keep your mind active, but this one keeps your body active too. It's nothing strenuous, but you've got to be able to hold a chain of letters steady and hook more on to make a word. It's a lot like your familiar hook-play games, but here you want to hook specific letters in order to spell the word you have in mind. It's definitely a lively twist on word games.

This is a game the whole family can play and have fun with together. Make long or short words and earn one point for every orange hook, two points for every green hook, and three points for every red hook. So, trying to make a long word may not be the best route to take...try to use the higher-point hooks and just try not to let any letters in your chain fall. If you drop one, you're turn is over. The family will enjoy watching to see what word is being spelled and the anticipation of will-it-or-won't-it fall.

This word game works well in the classroom, keeping students engaged and interested in words. They may be spelling and developing sportsmanship skills, but they're also having fun.
