them into words. At the end of the
contest the stories are read aloud and
voted on. The best Is awarded a
prize. If any story fails to include
all the given words 1t is not entered
in the competition.
The best place to play this game Is
around a large table which affords
room for the different papers. pencils
and elbows.
