6th Grade Adventure Club

The object of Island Hopping:  successfully move each member of your team across the "water"  by laying boards from "island to island".  There was no talking allowed between team members and if a board hit the "water" it was unusable and if a team member fell in the water or someone spoke, all boards were returned and the game started over again.  It was a wonderful challenge to witness.  The kids really thought about which boards to place where and who was strong and well-balanced to hold and position the boards carefully.  Once the boards were laid in place--they did a wonderful job encouraging one another from one side to the other--a very rewarding challenge for all!

 

The boards are positioned between each "island" and each member is now carefully crossing the boards to the other side.

Noah, who claimed he was terrified of heights, dangled his body off the side of the ropes course! 

Preparing for Geo-Tracking.  The device led the students on a scavenger hunt throughout the back fields of the school.  Eventually the smaller teams learned that their Geo-Tracker spelled "Teamwork".

Noah's last station was the Rock Wall.  Getting harnessed and preparing for his climb.

Enjoying time with friends!

 The school district provides Adventure Day for each 6th grade class at all 4 middle schools.  It's a rewarding and fun time for the kids and I'm happy I was able to witness their success today!
