“Hear, Ye! Hear, Ye! You are about to enter a fierce competition full of brave knights and lovely maidens (or in our case, 6th graders).”
Your task: Win the AMAZING RACE.
Your team must complete a minimum of 9 tasks between May _________.
Each task must be checked by a teacher and signed off on your packet.
Then you will receive instructions on which part of the castle to build (spend 15 minutes or less on castle building so you can go on to your next task).
Teams should be able to complete at least one task per day, with the minimum of 10 Tasks! Teams will start on different tasks, but must continue in order (for example, a team starting on task 3 would continue in order 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and then go back to 1 and 2).
The reward: The team with the most tasks completed and the most complete castle will win (Ties will be broken by judging the teams’ castles for completeness, effort, neatness, and detail).
Your grade: Individuals will be graded on their participation and effort in helping their team with tasks and castle building. If individual students are not participating appropriately, they will complete bookwork on the Middle Ages instead of participating in the Amazing Race.
