+# DOM_Intro_Exercise
+
+Practice manipulating the DOM!
+
+In the Chrome JS console practice selecting different elements on the page and doing something with it.
+
+For example:
+
+- When you click the word "milk", have an alert pop up that says "Milk"
+- When you click the word "wine" make the letters turn red
+- Can you think of any other fun events to make happen?
