A sport is an active pastime; diversion. It is a specific diversion, usually involving physical exercise and having a set form and body of rules; game. The word sport is derived from the Middle English sporten, meaning to amuse.
Do you have your own favorite sport? A favorite sport is a sport you like best or the sport that you love to play at most times. It can be your pastime. You can play your favorite sport when you have nothing to do at home or in school or when you are bored.
Like many others, I also have my own favorites including the favorite sport. My favorite sport is Scrabble. Do you know why scrabble is my favorite sport? It is because playing Scrabble is fun and introduces new words that you haven’t known and discovered yet. It is fun forming different words out of the seven letter tiles.
By the way, Scrabble is a word game for two, three or four players. The play consists of forming interlocking words, crossword fashion, on the Scrabble playing board using letter tiles with various score values. The biggest score value is ten and the lowest score value is zero. The letters that correspond the biggest score value are Q and Z; while the letters that correspond the lowest score value are the two blanks or MB. Other letters contain the score values eight, five, four, three, two and one. This game is also related to the English subject. It is because it includes the English lessons such as forming plurals of nouns, principal parts of a verb, words with affixes and words with suffixes.
The materials for this game or the playing tools are the scrabble board, four letter tile racks and the letter tiles. The letter tiles contain different letters from A-Z with score values. The letter tile racks hold the letters while you are waiting for your turn and the scrabble board is where you will put the letter tiles with formed words. This game also uses a scoring sheet for the list of scores in every turn and, of course, a pen for writing the scores. By the way, to win this game, you should aim of having the highest score among the other players.
Playing Scrabble contributes to your knowledge in English. In Scrabble, you can gain a lot of knowledge especially in forming the plural forms of nouns and I spelling skills.
Scrabble can be played anywhere because the Scrabble board is handy. Actually, it is mostly played indoors and whatever season we have, whatever is the weather; you can always play it any time.
I am encouraging you to play this word game, Scrabble, and you will surely have fun and can gain a lot of knowledge from it. You will have fun especially if you will learn how to play the game.
Other sports are also fun and exciting. I even play many of those such as chess, badminton, dama, and others. But, I won’t change my favorite sport because I know how to play the game and it is an educational game. Playing Scrabble is really very fun and exciting!!!
