OCTOBER OBSOLETE: Reviving words that kids will love… like FOOTLE

365 DAYS OF LITERACY FOR KIDS!

DAY 282 of 365 Days of Literacy for Kids:

Obsolete words are no longer in general use and may have fallen out of favor for nearly a century or more, but who says obsolete and rarely used words can’t be revived by kids who love words?

Today’s word is FOOTLE , a verb of obscure origin meaning to talk or act foolishly; silliness; to waste time.

Kids will love the word footle because footling can sometimes be fun.  Yes?

The word footle gives us a wonderful way to describe a behavior that we all have somewhere inside of us.

Use the word footle with your kids and grandkids today… especially while you’re footling!

OK. OK. You can stop footling now…

Join me each day here for OCTOBER OBSOLETE – 365 DAYS OF LITERACY FOR KIDS! – fun, easy and completely do-able!
