Wordplay Wednesday: America 250
Advertisement
Kick off the holiday weekend with the ultimate happy hour and game night combo! Join Planet Word on the first Wednesday of July for a special America 250 edition of our signature after-hours event.
All three floors of the museum will stay open late, including our interactive “Unlock the Music” karaoke gallery and the laugh-out-loud “Joking Around” humor gallery. Bring your friends, grab a drink, and test your knowledge with themed games and crafts.
Explore the museum and check out our A250 exhibit takeover in the Lend Me Your Ears gallery where you can deliver a historic American speech yourself. Special activities include:
* 1776 Slang Match: See how your modern vocabulary stacks up against terms from the American Revolution.
* Declaration of Independence Black-Out Poetry: Redact and reimagine excerpts from the Declaration of Independence to create your own poetic masterpiece.
* "What Does the 4th of July Mean to You?": Contribute to our collaborative whiteboard flag
* Short Story Dispenser: Print a poem about America to take home.
This evening is part of Planet Word's Language & Liberty: 250 Years of America series. Don't miss our Independence Day event, We Sing America: Planet Word Celebrates the 4th of July. This free, all-ages community sing-along in Franklin Park features a live band led by award-winning composer, producer, and well-known performer Nolan Williams Jr.
