Several of my favorites have been shared right here on ‘Or so she says…’! Other faves have been shared on some of my favorite blogs.

They’re just what you need to liven up your holiday celebration or any party, get-together, or family reunion.

Word Game: Find the Best Word EVER ~ Fun for Groups!

Word Game: Find the Best Word EVER ~ Fun for Groups!

This may seem like a weird question, but do you have a favorite word? I’m not talking about a name or place, I literally mean a word. It could fun to say or spell. The meaning is not the important part! Razzmatazz is one of my favorites. Indubitably. Mojito. Thrum. All words that tickle my tongue and give me a little thrill. I love a good word game. Years ago I came across this great countdown on Ted McCagg’s blog: he made brackets for each letter and finally winnowed the word list down to the best word ever. Since the colder months are coming, I thought I’d turn this idea into a full blown family word game! It would be perfect to set up around the house during a long Thanksgiving weekend with family. Also great for a youth group or Family Home Evening.

This family night lesson is all about having strong spiritual roots to withstand the winds the whirl into our lives. Get all the lesson info at www.orsoshesays.com.

Cupid Counting Printable – Get Ready for Valentine’s Day! (she: Liz)

My kindergartner is just starting to learn math facts. So far she is doing really well and has caught on quickly. I thought it would be fun to create a math fact sheet centering around Valentine’s Day. So cupid counting was created. I wanted to create something that could be used over and over again and help understanding the various combinations in adding up to different numbers.
