Blind Date with a Book Set-Up Kit – Valentine’s Day Library Activity

Description

NOTE: Because I use the term “blind date,” this activity is best-suited for middle and high school students. If you prefer the term “mystery book” instead of “blind date,” please see Unwrap a Mystery Book instead. It’s the same product, but it does not use the term “blind date.” Unwrap a Mystery Book also works for middle and high school.
