5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource for English Teachers & other verbivores
This book is full of great ways to have fun with the English language. I have used it during my teaching practicum to teach my students (grade 8 & 12) basic poetic terms. The games are great fun and a wonderful way to start class everyday! The kids keep asking for more & I don't think there's anything better than that. Lederer spans the language from sound...

3.0 out of 5 stars Rehash of R. Lederer's other WONDERFUL books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource for English Teachers & other verbivores, April 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Play of Words: Fun & Games for Language Lovers (Paperback)
This book is full of great ways to have fun with the English language. I have used it during my teaching practicum to teach my students (grade 8 & 12) basic poetic terms. The games are great fun and a wonderful way to start class everyday! The kids keep asking for more & I don't think there's anything better than that. Lederer spans the language from sound devices, to metaphors, to names, to language logic. It's one book I wouldn't want to teach without!

This review is from: The Play of Words: Fun & Games for Language Lovers (Paperback)
You don't need to have a sophisticated vocabulary to play these games. It's wonderful with children. We play in the car, at the dinner table, as a homework break. This book goes on vacation with us. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Word Play, May 26, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Play of Words: Fun & Games for Language Lovers (Paperback)
Lovers of words will delight in this volume. Hours of word-play within its covers. Lederer is a word genius and this one is one of his most wide-ranging and challenging.
