Family Amazing Race PTA/PTO Event Kit | After-School Community Learning Night for K-5 Families

Plan a family night that families remember. At the Family Amazing Race, families race through 8 hands-on stations, collect a letter at each stop and spell the secret word at the finish line. Every challenge has a Little Learners (K-2) and a Big Learners (3-5) version, so siblings and grown-ups play together.
