Besides my comic strip George, I really enjoy creating cartoon game panels.  And, I draw four of ’em for georgetoon.com.  So,  I thought I’d share another game panel feature here on the blog. (And yes, I use Linux to help digitally create and edit the feature!)

Word Pile is a fun word building cartoon game panel. It’s fairly straightforward.  It features a fun cartoon drawing with jumbled letters.  The cartoon gives a hint for at least one of the answers.  Take the jumbled letters and start forming words.  You pile each word on top of another in the supplied blanks. That’s it!  But make sure to read the directions as there is always a different minimum of letters you are allowed to use in forming the words.

I like to think that this is a great feature for teachers to help kids build vocabulary.  If you’re a teacher, feel free to download the cartoon, print out, and hand out to the kids.  The answers are just below.

If you like Word Pile, please let me know by posting a comment.

Again, if you want to read and play Word Pile each week, have your local paper give georgetoon.com a call or email.
