how to play

I need some tips

1

Flick through some magazines

Take a look through some books or magazines and spot some words you like the sound of.

2

Write the words down

Leave some space around each word as you'll be cutting them out. You'll need lots of words, try collecting at least 20.

3

Cut the words up

Ask a parent to help with this bit. Try cutting them up leaving the nice sounding endings, like -LICIOUS, -OODLE, -ING.

4

Now mix them up!

Move the word pieces around joining them to other word pieces. You can also try adding a word ending to a full word like STAMPEDE-OODLE. Hey presto, you made a new word!
