What has a lot of words, but never speaks?
I’m full of numbers, but I’m not a phone. You’ll find me in class, all on my own.
I hold all your tools, from pencils to glue. I come in a backpack and travel with you.
I ring without hands and tell you the time. When I go off, you're back in line!
I have pages and a spine but no bones. What am I?
I’m where you sit, think, and write, from morning to afternoon until night.
I help you write, I help you draw, but don’t forget to sharpen me, y’all!
What’s the king of all school supplies?
I’m filled with colors, but not a rainbow. You use me for art—on paper I go!
I get bigger the more you take from me. What am I?
