The Writers’ Exchange gave us all sorts of different kinds of supplies, like pipe cleaners, paper rolls, popsicle sticks, dice, pompoms and blocks, and we used them to design our own challenges. We played our challenge games with each other, and then we put them in this book so that you can play them, too. Try to win each one!
