This kit is similar to my Blind Date with a Book Set-Up Kit, except in all pieces of this kit, I replaced the phrase “Blind Date with a Book” with “Unwrap a Mystery Book.” I also simplified language on the “Hint” cards.

If you are an elementary librarian, teach ESL students, or are just looking for a Valentine’s Day activity for younger students, you will probably prefer this kit.

This Valentine’s Day activity works just fine with middle and high school students as well.
