Wordarama
Well wordarama is something we just made up. It's a bit like scrabble and a bit like bananagrams. Essentially we had a whole pile of word magnets, some of which we shared out. Then, we all turned them over and started making a poem using the letters we had - not easy! Once we had used most of our letters we could get some more but in the end we found less is more. That is, doing a smaller poem was a bit more effective than trying to make it too long. Not all of it makes sense but there are some great one liners!
