Appletters and Pairs-in-Pears

Appletters and Pairs-in-Pears
(from the people who brought you the game Bananagrams)

Appletters:
This apple-shaped pouched with a soft, zip-closed top includes 110 tiles with red capital letters that may be used to play three different games.
In Appleletters (for two to six players ages 5 and up) players alternately add tiles to the first or last letter of a word in the middle of the table, creating a continuous "snake" of new words.
Apple Turnover (for two to four players ages 7 and up) is similar to Appleletters. However, each player begins with 21 tiles instead of nine, and may actually replace an opponent's word with a longer word. The goal is to be the first player to get rid of tiles.
In Applescore (for two to four players ages 7 and up) players build words as long as possible in crossword-like fashion and get bonus points for length, palindromes and going out first.

Pairs-in-Pears:
Fast, fun and requiring no pencil, paper or gameboard, Pairs-in-Pears is a game that goes wherever you do! In Pairs-in-Pears, players race to make pairs of connecting words in matching patterns. The game consists of four complete alphabets, each one done in a different pattern: solid, outline, lines and dots. A fun way to familiarize younger children with the alphabet and word construction, and to keep older minds sharp!
