WBG Scrabble letters

Monthly meeting in English to learn and have fun using board games in English, each month a different one.

One Friday a month from 19:30 p.m. to 20:30 p.m. in the cafeteria of the International Institute.

Required level of English: intermediate-high / advanced (level test can be requested from library@iie.es).

The activity will usually be led by Heather Johnston, professor in the English department of the International Institute. This month Alicia Vazquez, also an IIE professor, will take her place.

Given the capacity limitation (15-20 participants) all those interested who want to participate must send a registration message to library@iie.es. The activity is part of the services offered to library members and they have priority in registration.

Carrying out the activity by non-members has an associated symbolic cost of €3 in a separate session. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the library counter the same week the activity is held up to 15 minutes before it starts.

Two to four players play in any game of Scrabble. The object of Scrabble is to score more points than one's opponent. A player collects points by placing words on the game board. Each letter has a different point value, so the strategy becomes to play words with high scoring letter combinations.
