　　Games can be both fun and difficult. Scrabble(拼字游戏) is a game I like most, but it is not an easy one. Henry, Tom and I are going to play Scrabble tonight. Henry cannot remember all the rules, so I will explain them. Do you want to learn? Listen carefully, and we will play later.

　　Each player takes seven letters. Your letters might be A, S, T, E, B, P and L. You can spell many words with these letters. You can spell TABLE with five of them, and you can spell LAP, LET, SAT, BAT and others with three of them. But you cannot use names of persons, countries, or cities.

　　You have to be careful. Some letters are worth more points than others. For example. A, E, L, S, and T have one point each, B and P have three points each. The number of points can be different for words with the same number of letters. SAT will give you only three points, and BAT will give you five. TABLE will give you seven points; three for B and four for the other four letters. Use TABLE. You will get more points, and you might win the game.

　　At the end of the game the players add up their points. The one with the most points wins. For example, you might have one hundred forty points. That is a good score. But I might have one hundred sixty points, and Henry might have one hundred seventy points. Then Henry wins. Shall we play?

　　A child's birthday party doesn't have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evanston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months．

　　“Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement．But it really doesn't have to be that way,” said Anaclerio．Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called “A Party in a Basket．” Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything．

　　Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created 10 ready-to-use, home party packages．Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket．

　　“Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,” Anaclerio said, “and they're very interactive (互动) and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject．For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations．”

　　The standard $ 200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like．For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141．
