Getting to Know the Talents-To-Tap across Kansas!

Autograph Action!

Directions: using the provided playing card, your goal is to secure an autograph of a colleague that can answer a question in any square. (Have the person sign the paper right in the square after he/she shares an answer.) The challenge is to collect a different colleague’s autograph for each square ~ the first person to obtain signatures in every square should alert the facilitator…good luck! J
