STOP is Poop

So you're sitting on a bus with your kids, and maybe they're picking their nose. Or they want to talk about LOL Dolls. What do you do?

Here's a game I play with my kids on trains and buses, and sometimes everywhere else. It's educational, especially for very early readers, but we like it because it's funny. There are potty words. Many, many potty words. Here are some examples using common street signs.




  • Beginner: Remove the "S."
  • Advanced: Remove the "ST" and replace it with "P" and "O."



  • Beginner: Take away the "Sch" and replace it with a "P."
  • Advanced: Take away the "Sch" and replace it with "Dr."


  • Beginner: In the word, "PARKING," remove the "P" and replace it with a "B."
  • Advanced: In the word, "NO," replace the "N" with an "M" and add an apostrophe after the "O." Then in the word, "PARKING," replace the "P" with an "F" and the "K" with a "T."




(Why stop there?)

  • Advanced (continued): Same as above, but in the word "Red," replace the "R" with a "B." And in the word "Towed," replace the "To" with "Ste."




(Or there?)

  • Advanced (final--I promise): Same as the above, but also in the word "Tow-Away," replace the "T" with a "P" and the "W" with an "O," and add an "L" after the first "A" and an "S" after the "Y." And then in the word "Any," replace the "ny" with "ll." And lastly, in the word "TIME," add an "S" at the end.



Y'all, poop is everywhere. Your kids will thank you.
