Classroom success stories from other teachers who have tried this resource:

♥ "We just had the BEST time reviewing the literary concepts we practiced during our reading of F451 with this game! Thanks for a fun, high quality product! :)"

♥ "Overall, even though it took a bit of work on my part to get this project going, it was TOTALLY WORTH IT! The kids had a blast."

♥ "My students took a really long time to complete this... I'm hoping it is because it is the first time "thinking outside of the box." But in the end we really enjoyed the experience."

♥ "Holy cow! This was by far the most fun I've had in a class period...ever! My students loved the activities and thought they were a helpful way to review their summer reading novel. We used the Google Form version of the game, and I appreciate that I could easily edit the final answer to the form so it matched where the key was hidden in my classroom. This is well worth the prep time of 25-30 minutes to make 4 sets of the clues. Well done!"

♥ "My students thought this was great. They want me to do more."
