Letter Game
Remember those summer vacation car trips we took as kids. No DVD players or ipods to amuse us. Just magnetic tic-tac-toe boards and the license plate game to keep us occupied.
Here is a variation of a game my mother made up to keep us amused as we drove for miles. Use it to find your summer “sweet spots” - those people, places and things you love most about summer.
Pick a letter, any letter, and name 5 things you really love about summer that start with that letter. Extra points awarded for alliterations.
