<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all! <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking to see if anyone has creative ideas that you use at a party for students who read the Rebecca Caudill books. Often I do a quiz game like Kahoot but I am trying to think of something different for this year. I will have about
40 minutes for the party. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for your collective ideas! <u></u><u></u></p>
