4. An actual real world paper map not printed by a printer
5. A map of a fantasy world
6. Something with fire (nothing illegal please)
7. An unbroken egg
8. One Croc
9. One chancla (bonus points if it’s the same color as the Croc)
10. A hat with a bird on it
11. An action figure
12. A unicorn (three-dimensional, not a picture)
13. A school hallway pass, signed by a teacher, with “APPLESAUCE” written as the student’s name.  I must be able to read the teacher’s name and you can not explain why you need this.
14. A [name of our school] article of clothing.  Your ID does not count.
15. The wrapper for a Jolly Rancher
16. An unsharpened pencil of at least two colors.
17. A receipt from CVS, Walgreen’s or 7-11.

39. A piece of hair from a teacher.  The hair must be in an envelope and the teacher must sign it.  You cannot explain why you need the hair.  You may lie.

I will report back on how this goes. They were super excited about putting the list together; we’ll see how many of them actually bring a bagful of stuff next week.
