When we walked into WordPlay on Monday morning, we met people we’d never seen before. The first thing we did was a research project using our names. I chose nature--N for Nina, N for Nature. We walked around Dupont Circle noticing things we hadn’t noticed before. What I remember the most is retracing my steps to lead everyone back to school. Different!
When we walked into WordPlay on Tuesday morning, we did magic words. We played Apples to Apples and Dictionary. We then went to the courtyard at Emerson with some chalk, and drew cool pictures and words in different alphabets. We played a guessing game called Doctor. Fun!

When we walked in to WordPlay on Wednesday morning, there where doughnuts on the table and it was Amanda’s birthday. That day we went to the heart of Dupont Circle for lunch (with more chalk!). Max and I wrote out Deoxyribonucleicacid on the pavement, big enough to go halfway around the circle. Then under it we wrote DNA. Amanda wrote ABRACADABRA the same way. We saw a bunch of people reading it; it was very funny. Epic!
When we walked into WordPlay on Thursday morning, we played the Questions game, Scrabble, and Dictionary. We then later went to the Portrait Gallery and took a bunch of pictures on the way there and back: close-ups, color, things we thought looked really cool, and just some really random photos. Exciting!
When we walked into Word Play for the last day of camp, we started on making this blog. We uploaded pictures we took the day before. We all picked our avatars. We put up Amanda’s and Nanie's I Be poems, we put up Max’s and Mona’s riddles. I found out what everyone thought of the week. Intense!
Brief Impressions from everyone else:
Amanda: Portrait Gallery. Cool!
Max: Writing words in chalk. Fun!
Nanie: Creative writing. Calm!
Mona: Apples to Apples because I got to know everyone better. Charm!
