Scrabble
Scrabble is a fun and intellectually challenging word game played by children and adults all across the world. Combining vocabulary skills, strategy, and a dash of luck, Scrabble tests players’ ability to spot and create words while maximizing their scores.
Here at Bishop’s College, we have received the privilege to have Scrabble as one of the 15 sports available at our school. Our Scrabble team has received many opportunities to represent our school in various competitions conducted across the country.
Our goal for our team is to help them improve their game strategies while learning new vocabulary and developing their mental and social skills. Most importantly we hope to make this a fun experience for our players where they can meet new friends and make lifelong connections.
