Child educational board game

Abstract

My child educational board game, “Connect Words”, requires a child to think critically in finding different ways in which words can be created by not only adding lettered chips to a grid during his or her turn but also by finding what words can emerge from combining letters already in the grid with those he or she will add in each turn, thus not only complementing and enhancing scholastic acquisition of vocabulary and spelling abilities, but helping to increase one's logic and sequencing skills.

1 - What I first claim as my invention is the design of square lettered chips, measuring one inch in diameter and one-fourth inch in width, which are then to be dropped into seven or more parallel slots, the openings of which measure approximately one inch by one half inch, of a grid, measuring twelve inches in height by ten and one half inches in length and approximately one half inch in width, that is held in upright-vertical position by two stand-legs attached to either side of the grid via adhesive strips, for the purpose of creating words in any direction.
