It is necessary for these games that a large boxful of letters should
be provided, which can be purchased at any toy store or made by the
young people themselves by being cut out of newspapers. The children
should seat themselves round the table; the letters should then be
well shuffled and dealt round to the players. Each child has to form
a word or sentence out of the letters which he has received. Another
variation is to select a long word, and then in a given time to try to
form several words from it. Names of well-known men, places, etc., can
also be given. These games are not only amusing, but serve at the same
time to instruct the young folk.
