What educators are saying

This is a really great resource that I used just before Halloween. The text was informative and my students enjoyed coloring and trying to discover the image. Thanks!

Rated 5 out of 5

I used this activity for early finishers in my Social Studies class. It was both informative and engaging. Anything with a colouring component is usually a hit,
