“What I love as a parent, and educator is that this packet is truly hassle-free! No-prep means more time to do the activities than researching for them. Really, as a busy mom I don’t have time for that! The best thing about this activity pack is that you can use it after the summer games as a resource on sports, and the countries featured in it.” I highly recommend this for any parent, or educator. You can use it at school or for homeschool.

Hi- I ordered this and paid for it through paypal, but then never received an email or link to download the material. I don’t know if I entered the wrong email- but I have been checking me spam email as well. I tried contacting you via paypal but did not hear anything back and can’t find another way to contact you about this product. I would really like to use this material the rest of this week. I would appreciate a quick response. Thank you!

I’m so sorry for the delay! I’ve been offline with sick kids but will take care of it now. Thank you for your patience!
