⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tamara T. loved the Back to School Egg Hunt and said, "I did this activity with my students last Friday, what a hit! I greeted them at the door in the morning with the basket of eggs and a huge, "Happy Easter, take an egg, don't look at it!" They were dying to find out what was going on. Thanks for a fun, team building activity."
