Philly Plays Scrabble

We love to play games here in Philadelphia.

I remember when I was a kid. We used to play jump rope, jax and hop scotch. Kids today can still enjoy these games in a safe nurturing environment. As a matter of fact, at 17 Free Library branches at designated times in October, you may join Scrabble players throughout October.

Philly Plays Scrabble is an initiative launched by ASAP/After School Activities Partnership.

Take a look at their site for more details: www.phillyasap.org. I see you on game day!
