Here‘s what buyers said: “I used this in conjunction with some YouTube videos I found on the internet. It worked really well as a way for kids to gain some level of empathy and empowerment from Terry Fox. This activity bundle helped reinforce their new passion for Terry Fox. I love how they are great for all ages even older students who are working at a lower grade level. I consider these a "buy it for life" and will be using them every year from now on.”
"Thank you for such a fun filled activity packet that kept my students engaged the entire time."
