# A guide to keep

1. Choose the game idea you want to keep.
2. Keep its purpose, start, return step and a question on paper or in your usual way.
3. If you use the Play Plan Bench, copy words you want before leaving. You can finish with a plan.

## Pick a way

- **Keep a paper guide.** Keep a paper guide with your purpose, start, return step and question.
- **Make an exact word guide.** Tell or sign your own guide. A helper can keep your exact words.
- **Compare your own versions.** Use the empty Bench or paper twin to compare two of your own versions.

You can tell, sign, point, draw, use AAC or direct a helper. Keep it private, pause, rest or finish.

<summary>Grown-up help</summary>

A helper can read one invitation at a time and record your exact offered words or directions. You can point, sign, use AAC, draw, tell, keep it private, rest or stop. Suitable broad whole paper is enough; no small pieces, cutting, glue or partner is required. The grown-up chooses suitable materials and follows local guidance. If someone else marks or moves a part, keep who did it separate. A picture or plan does not say that a game was played.
