How Would You Feel if Your Teacher Told You to "ZIP-IT"?


Asante Sana/Thank you very much Bananagrams!

Once again, due to the generosity of the Bananagrams Toy Corporation, students of Morning Star Secondary School, Mwanza, Tanzania are telling each other to "Zip-It!"  Not only are they enjoying the new game Zip-It introduced by the company, but they are also having fun with my personal favorite game Bananagrams.  In addition to the 24 games received from the company the students also received T-shirts that they enjoy wearing during their free time.

The games have been a wonderful addition to enhancing their vocabulary and their creativity.  Let's not mention, that we are having a blast in the classroom!

I developed a system whereas the students are welcome to sign out the games for after their studies in the evening.  We are referring to it as the "Toy-rama Library."  Perhaps you can come up with a creative name for us - submit your ideas at your "leisure."  Leisure-Library? aka -  L&L.  The possibilities are endless.

  1. I tell my kids to Zip It all the time... and I don't mean play games!

    How about "Leisure-time Library"? You do have a degree in Recreation and "Leisure" Services...

  2. MJ... Just found our Bananagrams... the kids look like they are having a ball... love their shirts too...isn't it amazing that such a small "toy" could bring such joy!!! I am beginning to think that MJ stands for "Much Joy"... enjoy the remainder of your time and journey home safe.
    All our love,
