Make the spinner by cutting around the circle carefully with scissors OR simply cutting a square shape that includes the spinner. Use a pencil tip and paper clip to spin OR add a brad. OR make a hole in the center, add a split pin and attach a paper clip for spinning.

You can use the included printable game pieces by cutting out of card, slip into a paper clip and get them to stand up by adding blu tac or play dough to the bottom of the paper clip. Alternatively, you can use manipulatives like buttons or Lego minifigures (our favorite way of playing!)
