"Board games have never really been my thing, but I&amp;#039;ve just started playing Scrabble and, now, I&amp;#039;m hooked! Scrabble is an awesome way to connect with other people. Say that you&amp;#039;re going to be a college freshman and you don&amp;#039;t know anyone. Break out the Scrabble board and poof! Instant hit!  Or what if you&amp;#039;re with a relative with whom you don&amp;#039;t really have anything in common? Playing Scrabble is an enjoyable way to bond with someone. Plus, every time you play Scrabble, you learn new words without even knowing it! Did you know that your favorite celebs play Scrabble? Stars like Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake, and Maroon 5 have been seen playing this popular board game. And they&amp;#039;re not alone-you can find Scrabble in one out of every three homes in the US! And now you can even buy travel Scrabble-so the fun doesn&amp;#039;t stop, no matter where you go! You might be thinking, &amp;quot;Scrabble seems really boring.&amp;quot; Well, you are SO wrong! You can make Scrabble a lot of fun by playing your own version, like using texting words as bonus words (LOL). Scrabble may be an old game (it turns 60 in 2008!) but that doesn&amp;#039;t mean you can&amp;#039;t make it modern!  Have you caught the Scrabble bug like I have? What are your favorite board games? Love, Katie Moulton CG! Intern PS- A lot of girls are playing Scrabble now. In fact, a 14 year-old girl from Connecticut was the first young woman to win the National School Scrabble Championship!
