My all-time favorite group opener!! Any age can play/share. I love using it to hear what people feel comfortable in sharing and it gives me a springboard to pray specifically for the people I love so much by listening to their heart as they share the joys and challenges in their world. To play, start with a happy share, then a crappy share, then end with one last happy share.

Find a t-shirt and make a t-shirt bag for a missionary to give as a gift. T-shirt bags are loved by kids going to school who don't have backpacks or moms who walk to the market nearly everyday to buy food

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
So, the other day my husband stopped by Whole Foods after picking up produce, meat and cheese from our local farmers market. The cashier took one look at our reusable bags and, um, insisted on giving us new ones. Apparently, they don't like the look of them after they've been repeatedly dragged along the ground by children who "help" unload the groceries.

Anyway, I've been looking for an easy-to-carry, washable alternative for the kids to use, and over the weekend I came across the perfect solution. My local thrift shop was selling cute t-shirts for 99 cents apiece that were practically begging to be upcycled into a farmer's market tote. They're 100% washable, and when they're no longer useful as bags I can cut them into rags to clean with.

There was just one problem: I can't sew. At all.

Fortunately, I came across some no-sew ideas that Katie and I adapted to fit our style (which, if you're curious, generally favors the color red and anything Snoopy). The took no more than 10 minutes from start to finish, and I love how they turned out.

How To Make A No Sew T-Shirt Tote Bag

Supplies:

Old t-shirt - The thicker the fabric, the sturdier the bag

Sharp scissors, preferably fabric scissors

Washable marker (optional)

Directions
Step 1: Cut the sleeves off
If you'd like to fold the t-shirt in half you can cut both sleeves at once so that they are identical. Or, if your material is too thick to cut them both at once, you can cut one, then fold it in half and use the cut side as a guide for the next sleeve.
Step 2: Cut the neckline area
If you'd like, you can turn the shirt inside out and trace the outline of a bowl before cutting. I used both methods and personally, I like free-hand cutting better because I prefer a slightly oval shape to a perfectly round one. I ended up trimming this one a bit to make it more oval.
Step 3: Determine how deep you want the bag to be
If you haven't already turned your t-shirt inside out, do it now. Determine where you want the bottom of the bag to be and trace a line across. Keep in mind that depending on the fabric used, your tote is likely stretch and become longer when it's filled with stuff.
Step 4: Cut fringe
Now grab your scissors and cut slits from the bottom of the shirt up to the line marking the bottom of your bag. You'll want to cut both the front and back layers together because they need to match up for the next step.

I cut my slits about 3/4 to 1 inch apart.
Step 5: Tie Fringe
Okay, this is going to sound really complicated, but it's NOT, promise. Take your first pair of fringe and tie it into a knot, then tie two more pairs. Now if you lift your bag you'll see that although the pairs are pulling the bag together, there's a hole between each pair. This next step will close those holes.

In the photo above you see three sets of fringe that have been tied in knots. What I do next is grab one strand from the middle set (the one with the arrow pointing left) and tie it in a knot with one of the strands on the left set. Then I take the other strand from the middle set (the one with the arrow pointing right) and tie it in a knot with one of the strands on the right set.

Then I take the remaining strand on the right set and tie it to the next set of strands, and so on and so forth until all the strands are tied. Now turn your t-shirt right side out again and voila, you're done!
A Couple Of Fun Variations . . .
Turn the bag right side out when tying the fringe. This is one I made for Katiepotamus.

Tie the straps in knots, or tie bits of t-shirt scrap to the top as embellishments

Wondering what to do with your leftover scraps?

I usually use larger pieces as cleaning rags, or use them to make the recycled t-shirt potholders pictured below.

Hangman Instructions

Guess letters one at a time to solve the word puzzle. Tap a letter to guess it. Each time you solve a word, the balloons you save are added to your score. Up for a challenge? Increase the difficulty and you'll have fewer balloons to hang on to!

HANGMAN TIPS & STRATEGIES

Use your vowels. Looking at vowels is a good way to start. Since there are only 5, you can fill in some blanks pretty quickly. They can even help you guess the answer straight away. For example, if you try the letter A and the word looks like this '_A_A_A', you might be able to guess straight away that the answer is BANANA just from one letter.

Etaoin shrdlu. "Etaoin shrdlu" is two words listing the most commonly used letters in the English language, in order of frequency. "E" is the most commonly used letter, "t" is second-most common, etc. After trying your vowels, try out a few letters from this list to see if they appear in the word!

Break down phrases. When trying to guess a phrase, break it up and look at each word rather than focus on the letters. If you can guess just one word then it may lead you to the other words in the saying. You can also use the tip at the top of the window for extra help.

Don't forget your Js and Zs. The letters J and Z always trip people up. They're both fairly rare and it's not always obvious when you need one to complete a word or phrase. Don't guess a Z or a J at the very beginning, but keep them in mind as you play.

It can be helpful to learn the most difficult and most common words used in Hangman. Get some helpful tips on how to further build your Hangman strategy.

WHAT YOU LEARN FROM PLAYING HANGMAN

Hangman teaches you spelling, vocabulary, and other related language skills. Hangman can also help expand your topical knowledge.

If you like word guessing games, try your skills playing some other fun and free games like Play Four or the Daily Crossword.

Guess the letters in the secret word to solve the puzzle. You can guess a letter by clicking it or typing it on your keyboard. You'll score points for each correct letter you guess, and if you solve the word, you score for how fast you get it and how many balloons you had left. Get the highest total score after 5 rounds to win the game and earn a trophy!

What are some of the hardest Hangman words?

One of the hardest words in Hangman is Jazz. Jazz is great because it includes J and Z, two of the most uncommon letters in the alphabet. Along with this, it only has 3 letters in it, which makes it harder for players to guess.

Other great options are words that don't use the typical A, E, I, O, and U vowels. Some great examples are psych and synth. Both will be hard for opponents to guess due to their lack of vowels.

This is a pad app ($2.99) for iPhones and iPads, but it's one of my favorites for art with kids. I use it all the time myself. Digital art can be shared in Zoom, too

I have the Pro version too. Go to your computer with iTunes, open the Recycle Bin and literally pull the Art Set 1.1.ipa (maybe Art Set 1.0.ipa) file out of the bin.

This is your old (hopefully) still workable Art Set prior to the update. Keep it safe for the time being, and wait to see if Art Set is updated. Please wait.

If for some odd reason the Pro version is gone forever, then you still have the old version. At worst, you can copy into your Apple set of apps, and reinstall on your device.

Here's an online word generator for this fun game! (Special thanks to thegamegirl.com for her word generator) Her website is chocked full of ideas and word lists to download for games that can be adapted for Zoom and for your own dinner table.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When I was putting together this site of games, I discovered that my printable word lists became very popular. I had word lists for pictionary, charades, and other games, and visitors seemed to really like them! So I got to thinking, what's one step better than a printable list of words for playing pictionary? An online word generator! Here I've taken all the words on my printables, plus hundreds more, and combined them into different categories for playing games like pictionary, catchphrase, charades, or any other game you want.

Here's how it works: First, select a Game (the game menu also includes a Holiday option). Then select a Category. (The Categories will change based on the Game you select, and often include levels, like Easy words, Medium words, and Hard words, or might have a listing of specific holidays.) Then just click New Word and you're good to go - the word generator will give you a game word from the list and you can play!

My amazing husband also made an iPhone app with all the same content. Download it here on the App Store. Then you can play on the go, even with no Internet connection.

Finally, I love feedback! If you have any input on the word lists, whether they're too hard or too easy or too short or anything, I'd love to hear! I'd love to hear requests, too, if you have a new game or category you'd like to see. Just let me know!
