Engage with everyday expressions in a completely different (and fun!) way, with this entertaining and interactive book of common phrases that can turn a humdrum gathering into a raucous game night.
For Budding Word Nerds
Start them young! However schooling has been going for the kids in your life, word games can build vocabulary and augment spelling and word recognition skills. These games don’t have to be thinly veiled language arts lessons kids can smell from a mile away. There are kids’ games that can lead to a lifelong love of word nerdery.
For the Solo Word Nerd
For people who are living alone or looking for stimulating activities away from screens, there are games that have good single player modes. The upside to these games is their additional multiplayer options, for when the solo word nerds in your life gather with others.
For the Serious Word Nerds
Games mean different things to different people, and there are different games for different moods. Some people just want to have some lighthearted fun. Others who want an opportunity to master a game, preferring to develop skills. They prefer games that require quiet and concentration instead of boisterous energy. These games for word nerds to gift are for the more serious players.
For the Whole Word Nerd Party
Here’s where I admit I’m a bit of a party pooper. If I’m playing a party game, I want it to be a good game that allows people’s wit, cleverness, and creativity to shine. I want it to provide an outlet for genial competitiveness. There are some party games out there, whose names I will not name, that make all the jokes for you and where winning is essentially random. These games are better than those games.
Bonus Round: For the Zoomers
I know many of us are zoomed out. I find the antidote to that fatigue is structured hangouts, like game nights. When we have little excitement to report to our faraway loved ones, new ways to connect can be very fulfilling. I’m including a few games for word nerds to gift that also work well with remote play. If your distant loved ones are savvy with screen sharing, send over the game along with your promise to play. Looking for more great gift ideas? We’ve got you covered.
