4. Rules Review continued…  Performing well in the “Challenges” will earn your tribe votes which can be used to sabotage other teams from making it to the GREAT BARRIER REEF!  The best way to prepare yourself to be a SURVIVOR is to be sure you come to class prepared (Always bring your Survivor Guide Booklet and a pencil) and work as a team with your tribe members.

5. Team Building Activity  Materials needed:  1 piece of construction paper  Marker in team color  At the top of the piece of construction paper write the letters of each of your team member’s last names.  Using each letter only once, create as many words as possible out of the last name letters in 90 seconds.  The team who creates the most words will earn 5 extra seconds added to today’s challenge and the team that creates the longest word will earn 10 extra seconds added to today’s challenge.  All words must be spelled correctly and must be identifiable by your math teacher in order to count.

6. Tribe Arm Bands  Each Tribe is assigned a name and color.  Working collaboratively, your tribe must create arm bands to identify each of the tribe members.  On the arm bands you must have your Tribe name and a logo to signify your tribe.  Using fabric in your tribe color and fabric paint neatly create an arm band for each member of your tribe.

8. Tribe Burpee Challenge  Your tribe will have 2 minutes to complete as many burpees as possible. The team who completes the most will earn immunity at today’s voting ceremony.  Here’s the catch – each tribe member must complete at least 3 burpees. After each tribe member has completed their three burpees then any tribe member or members can take over. Each tribe must have a master plan of who is starting, going second, third and finishing before beginning the challenge. Communication with your team is key!!  A member of another tribe will count the total out loud so all tribe members are aware of the total.  GOOD LUCK!!
