HerPlanet.com Word Play on the Internet By Robin Nobles If you're interested in "words"in what they mean, how to use them, and where they came fromyou're in luck on the Internet. Have you ever wondered where phrases such as "bite the bullet" or "kiss of death" came from? At the Origin of Phrases, you'll learn that the term "raining cats and dogs" may have originated from the time of the bubonic plague in London, where cats and dogs were also afflicted, many dying in the streets. After a particularly hard rain, street gutters would be flooded with the bodies of cats and dogs. An excellent site for exploring the English language is the World Wide Word Home Page The page is devoted to the English language, to "its history, quirks, curiosities and evolution." Click on Weird Words to learn of odd words such as "eleemosynary," which means "charitable." Submit a question to learn the origin of certain phrases or words, or study words or phrases that aren't in dictionaries yet, like "genetic pollution." At the Literary Dictionary you can study words that first made an appearance in books, plays, poems, comic strips, and mythology. For example, the word "accept" first appeared in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales in 1387. "Aerial" first appeared in William Shakespeare's Othello in 1604.

Writing Warm-up #4: Word-Play Heather Grove Open a dictionary or thesaurus again (see warm-up #3 ). But this time, instead of picking one word, pick three. How can you relate these words together? What patterns can you find? How can they be more interesting when viewed together than alone? Pick two words this time. Pick four. Pick five. Play around with different combinations of words. Open a thesaurus and pick several words that are all synonyms for the same word. Play with them. Play with the similarities, the differences, and anything else you can think of. Try to use them all in the same piece of writing. Pick words that are related to each other in some topical way and play with them. Play with words that describe personality. Take the first three that you find and try to work them all into the same personality. What is this character like? Play with variations on a theme. Pick three words that represent different types of cat, horse, dog, tree, insect, star, rain, or anything else you can find. How can you explore the differences and similarities between these variations in your writing? If you're having trouble coming up with a theme to guide your variations, then go back to that dictionary or thesaurus. Keep picking words until you get one that is a type rather than a specific item. Think in broad terms - as we've just seen, even a word as simple as "horse" can have variations.

16. VisionaryFiction.com Columnist Barbara Ardinger - Visions Of Writing Visions of writing With author Barbara Ardinger, Ph.D. word play in Thesaurean FieldsThe English language has the largest vocabulary of any language on earth. http://www.visionaryfiction.com/emer_genre_ba4.html

Barbara . . . In her own words I started putting words on paper - backwards - in the first grade. Miss McKnight soon got me pointed in the right direction, however, and I haven't come to a full stop yet. I won my first prize in the 5th grade for an essay on books that began with a quote from Emily Dickinson that I'd seen somewhere and liked: "There is no frigate like a book/ To take us to lands away." I wrote my first novella before I'd even learned to type. Fortunately, that effort is long gone. In my high school Creative Writing Club, I was the only member who brought a poem, essay, or story to every single meeting. One was an overly emotional reaction to Tchaikovsky's Sixth "Pathetique" Symphony; another was a grisly story in which I used every synonym in my new thesaurus for the word "think." I can still remember the outbreak of giggles when I came to "opine." In college and graduate school, I wrote more term papers than I can count. And made sure to insert a really good pun into every one of them. I wrote an M.A. thesis comparing the comedies of Shakespeare and Moliere and a Ph.D. dissertation on the persona of Cleopatra in English drama from 1592 to 1898.

20. Between The Lions . Word Play | PBS Kids Here's a game called word play for you to play anywhere. It's a reading andacting game for two or more people. Keep the writing face down. http://pbskids.org/lions/printables/games/wordplay.html

Here's a game called Word Play for you to play anywhere. It's a reading and acting game for two or more people. The game needs at least one person who can help read the words. Print the words and cut them out. Or copy them onto different pieces of paper. Shuffle them, and make a pile. Keep the writing face down. The youngest player goes first by taking the top word and reading it without showing the other players (unless they need help from the game's Designated Reader). The player must now act the word for the others, without saying anything. If the word is 'hop', then hop! If it's 'flip' then flip! Keep on acting until someone guesses what the word is. Whoever guessed correctly takes the next word from the pile and takes the next turn. Below are words you can use. They are all action words (verbs). You can also make up your own - just write them down and shuffle them into the pile. Keep them as action words to keep the game easier for little kids. Grownups: Don't be afraid to take a turn, too! bounce chew climb crawl dance draw flip float hop knock laugh leap open peek peel pop sing pull melt grow push rip shake shrink sip smile sniff spin step stretch swim tumble wriggle vanish squeeze cry You may also enjoy the computer-based version of this game!
