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

365 DAYS OF LITERACY FOR KIDS!

DAY 304 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 WASHBALL… simply, a ball of soap used for washing or shaving.

The word washball is traced back to the early 17th century; the word soap is more common today, but means the same thing.

Kids will love the word washball because it’s a new “old” way to describe or define a common word… just a bit more fun and interestingly.  

Use the word washball with your kids and grandkids today.  Heck… use washballs with your kids and grandkids today!

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