Bloom and Bud Education Company –
This worked well in all my classes just before our Easter Break! Worth every penny! A great interactive activity. I don’t think this would work for anyone younger than 8’s as my classes all struggled with one of the puzzles. I ended up having to supply some info in order to fill in the blanks.
Sarah R. –
This was a fun activity for students to work through on the last day before Easter break. It was challenging but also engaging.

Loved this for my fourth graders
Mrs.Berg-6th Grade Resources –
My students loved this as an activity we did right before Easter break! They were very engaged from the start. I wish I would have used the print outs that told them what cipher went to which clue as some were getting a little frustrated. Instead, I gave each group one clue that they could use and that worked well!
