I've decided Heads Up, 7 Up is my favorite first day of school game! It got the students standing, moving, and practicing each other's names. Plus it's quick and can fill any amount of time.

So grateful to all the @NewRiverNPS park rangers and locals who shared their time, knowledge, and passions with us during #STEAMinthePark. @dacia92 @Flipgrid
