💡 April 13 is National Scrabble Day – a day set aside to enjoy a game played around the world and to acknowledge its creator, Alfred Mosher Butts. It’s also a great time to develop the Adapt critical thinking trait with this lively activity. Alfred Butts used his flexible thinking to overcome unemployment during The Great Depression. Let’s use the Adapt trait in his honor while we enjoy his clever design.
