Spring Game & Giveaway

By

I’m a Word Nerd, and as such, I love playing word games. Words with Friends, Boggle with Friends, UpWords, Taboo, Scattegories, Bananagrams, Scrabble. I even keep a crossword puzzle by my place at the table, so I always have some word fun to work on.

So for our Game Day today, I thought we could stretch our Word Nerd muscles and with some acrostics.

To play, create a poem or sentence where each word starts with the first letters of the two words below.

SPRING READS

You can use both words or just one. This is for fun, so we’re going light on the rules. Your sentence or poem should explore a place or experience that fits the theme of Spring Reads.

For example, I pictured taking a walk through beautiful spring blossoms.

Enter your acrostic in the comments to be entered to win a Spring Reads Prize of fun reader socks and an autographed copy of your choice of one of the three pictured books.
Have fun!

  8. SPRING

    S – Shoots of new growth cover the corner of my yard
    P – Pondering what else to plant – the choices make it hard
    R – Rainbows of many colors excite my eyes
    I – Inviting me to purchase, and I hope they will survive
    N – Now, nature is overflowing with His workmanship
    G – God, please water the buds, they’re needing a sip

    • Great poem, Janetta! I had to laugh with the “I hope they will survive” line. That is a true statement at my house. I am infamous for killing plants.
