Bananagrams

Not a book, and not particularly Jewish, but as a word-game, we feel it fits the theme of this site. In this unique word game, players use tiles to create words crossword-style. The first player to use all their tiles is the winner. With multiple ways to play, this game is perfect for beginning spellers, […]
