Alphabet Game - TOOTH/TOOTH FAIRY

[Cassel]

 

In August, our monthly theme is the Tooth Fairy.

Whether you have children or grandchildren or not, you have certainly heard of the Tooth Fairy, even if you haven't played that role yourself. What words can we think of related to this theme would start by the different letters of the alphabet? I suspect this theme might be a little more challenging than the one in July, so maybe we can imagine various treats that the Tooth Fairy COULD give the children?

Let's go!
