KC has waited 50 years to get here, and to say that this town is a little excited would be the understatement of the century!

Let’s play a little game DURING the game!

1. Make sure you get some of your first grade teacher friends in on the action, because I am going to be giving away A LOT (especially if the Chiefs win!). 2. Every time the Chiefs get a touchdown, comment below with the name of the player who made the touchdown and one item from my store (worth $7 or less) that you would like. Also leave your email address so I can send it your way. The first 7 respondents after a Chiefs touchdown will get the free item of their choice!

3. If the Chiefs win, I will be entering everyone's names who plays along into a raffle for $50 worth of resources from my store.
Best of luck to everyone...but especially the Kansas City Chiefs!!!! ... See MoreSee Less
