Play with the meanings of words, in space!
Come by 7500 Maple Ave on Sunday afternoon, at the Takoma Park Community Center (next to the library) for the Seventh Annual Mid-Year Play Day. We’re excited to introduce OtherWordly to our local community!
What to Expect
As part of IDEA’s commitment to childhood literacy, OtherWordly helps children develop essential language skills through engaging gameplay. Stop by our table to experience this new educational language game that makes learning fun.
About OtherWordly
Players connect clue words with partially hidden orbiting words – discovering that “a?pl?” is “apple” when the clue is “fruit.” Colorful characters and special powers turn vocabulary building into an adventure children actually want to play!
Can’t Make It?
If you can’t attend Play Day, you can still access OtherWordly through our website at www.idea.org/otherwordly. We’re excited to make this educational resource available to families everywhere.
Beyond Takoma Park
After Sunday’s launch, we’ll be bringing OtherWordly to kiosks at the Children’s Museum of the Arts later this year. We’re committed to sharing our educational tools with communities across the country!
