What educators are saying

I didn't use it as a first day of school activity. Students loved this activity and worked really well as a group. They wanted to do the activities over and over.
I used this on our first day of class in the 2023 school year. I loved the team building and fun silliness that came with it! It made a great start to my course, and allowed for students to talk to one another. I look forward to using it again next year.
