What You Need

Surfer of the Century: The Story of Duke Kahanimoku

6 inch square origami paper (or cut your own squares from

standard paper) in red, green, black, blue and yellow

Glue stick

How to Prepare Post and review questions prior to read the book.

Steps to Follow

1 Read the story, Surfer of the Century: The Life of Duke Kahanamoku by Ellie Crowe

2

Ask the following questions as you read:

What do you know about swimming? About the Olympics? About surfing?

What do you already know about the way people of color were treated at the beginning of the 1900s in the United States? What questions do you have about that era?

What are some of your goals? What have you done to try and achieve them? How do you deal with obstacles?

What do you think it would be like to leave your family and friends to go and compete in a sporting or other event? What would you do if spectators booed you?

What is a biography? Why are biographies of interest to readers? What biographies have you read?

3

Ask the following. Allow members to think about the answers to the questions and reflect before answering.

What is this person’s relationship to the ocean? How does this person’s relationship to the ocean change from the beginning to the end of the story?

How does this person show appreciation for the ocean?

How is the ocean/beach a part of this person’s identity?


13

13 of 54


Look at a map of the world and locate the island this person is from. What is the capital? What ocean surrounds it? Infer what the climate is like based on the island’s location. What makes this island unique?

How does this person demonstrate pride in his/her culture?

How does this person remember home even when far away from home?

4 Remind members that Duke won gold medals at the Olympics during a time when people of color were not accepted.

5

Create the Olympic rings using origami folding. Take your red piece

of paper. With your paper colored side down, fold your square

horizontally and then vertically to crease.

6

Cut carefully along one of the crease lines to make two rectangles.

You now need to fold each rectangle into thirds so that you end up

with thin strips.

7

Monday Activity 2 Alka-Seltzer Powered Lava Lamp Science Experiement


30-45 minutes

Description Hawaii is known for its volcanoes. There are currently three active volcanoes in Hawaii. On Hawaii Island you'll find Maunaloa and Kilauea in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Members will make a lava lamp using household items.

Objective Members will use chemical reaction and carbonation to create a lava lamp.

What You Need

Video: Hawaii Surfing


(4:21)

Surfing Huge Waves in Hawaii


(1:29)

Tall identical jars or bottles, such as empty, clear, plastic 1-liter or 2-liter bottles (2

Knife

Food coloring

Vegetable oil (enough to fill the jars nearly full)

An Alka-Seltzer tablet. Only one tablet is needed for the activity, but having additional tablets can be fun if you wanted to repeat lava lamp action.

A way to make one jar hot and one cold, such as by using a large bowl filled with hot water and access to a refrigerator or freezer

Cutting board

Timer or clock that shows seconds

Water

How to Prepare

Somehow make one of the prepared jars be hot and one be cold.

For example, to make one hot you could let it sit in a large bowl of

hot water, and to make one cold you could store it in a refrigerator

or freezer. Be careful when handling hot water.

Junior assistant will be needed for this activity.

Steps to Follow

1

Fill each jar or bottle with 1-2 inches of water, add 5 drops of food coloring, and then fill it at least three-quarters full with vegetable oil. Put the cap on tightly to avoid spills and leaks.

2 Make one jar hot and one cold, by using a large bowl filled with hot water and placing another in a freezer or some ice.

3

Cut an Alka-Seltzer tablet into quarters. Only two quarter pieces are needed for the activity, but having additional pieces can be fun if you wanted to repeat lava lamp action.

4 Drop a quarter of a tablet into the heated jar. (Note that the tablet piece may take a moment to sink through the vegetable oil to reach the water, where it will react)

5 Start timing as soon as the tablet piece reaches the water and starts reacting.

6 Record how long does it take the tablet to disappear and ho vigorous are the bubbles?


18

18 of 54


7

Drop a quarter of a tablet in the cold jar.

8 Start timing how long it takes the tablet to disappear .

9

R ecord how long it takes the tablet to disappear in the colder liquid. Do you notice other differences in how the reaction happens in the colder liquid versus in the hotter liquid? Why do you think you got the results that you did?

10 Discuss the results of the experiment.

11

Say: The ingredients in Alka-Seltzer combine with water to form a gas called carbon dioxide. The oil and Alka-Seltzer do not combine in this way though. The Alka-Seltzer tablets sink through the vegetable oil until they reach the layer of colored water. There the Alka-Seltzer dissolves in the water and forms a gas called carbon dioxide. The gas is lighter than the water and oil, so it bubbles up, taking a bit of colored water with it as it moves through the oil layer. You should have seen those bubbles, looking like colorful blobs, float through the oil layer to the top of the jar. At the top the bubbles should have burst (releasing the carbon dioxide gas), and then the colorful blobs should have sunk back to the bottom (now without carbon dioxide gas). The effect should have been reminiscent of a lava lamp.

The chemical reaction that causes the carbon dioxide to form happens more quickly in warmer water. For this reason, you should have seen that the Alka-Seltzer tablet dissolved more quickly in the hot water, in approximately 20-30 seconds depending on the temperature. This should have resulted in lots of rapid bubbling and an energetic lava lamp display. In contrast, the Alka-Seltzer tablet in the cold water should have dissolved more slowly, with most of it should disappearing in the first two to three minutes, resulting in a calmer and longer lasting lava lamp effect.


19

19 of 54


Note: When you are done playing with the lava lamps, do not pour them down the drain. That quantity of vegetable can lead to clogs in the sewer system. Instead, pour the contents of the lava lamps into a compost pile or dig a hole in your yard, away from any plants you care about, and pour the contents in the hole. If neither of those are an option, simply screw the cap on tightly and throw the lava lamp jar in your regular trash.

Monday Activity 3 Beach Ball Collage


30-45 minutes

Description Members will make a beautiful beach collage that would represent the beautiful beaches that Duke Kahanamokus surfed and swam on in Hawaii

Objective Members will create a beach ball collage using tissue paper and construction paper.

What You Need

Poster Paper

Pencils

Markers/Colored Pencils/Crayons

Magazine

How to Prepare

Steps to Follow

1 Use a pencil; draw a large circle on the poster paper.

2 Draw a small circle about the size of a quarter somewhere off center, inside the circle.

3

Draw a curved line from the small circle to the large circle. Repeat drawing lines until you have six lines and six spaces. Each curved line should face the same direction in a pinwheel formation. The lines will be different lengths and can be varying widths apart from each other (this will give it a 3-D effect).

4 Trace over the pencil so the beach ball stands out on the poster paper with a black marker.

5 Fill in each segment a different color using colored pencils or crayons.

Tuesday Warm-up


Steps to Follow

Members will create Hawaiian names and decorate them to use as a table tent. To translate, Hawaiian only uses 13 letters. So if a name contains the letters B, F or P, just use P instead. For the letters C, D, G, J, K, S, T, X or Z use K. For names with L or R, use L. For names with V or W, use W. And for names with a J or Y, use the letter I. Basically, the letters A, E, H, I K, L, M, N, O, P, U and W can remain the same. And if a name ends with a consonant, simply add a vowel to the end. Pick one that sounds nice. Likewise, if a name has two consonants together, place a vowel between them.

Visionary


25

25 of 54


1. Duke Kahanamoku also gained fame for an amazing rescue of stranded fishermen off the coast of Newport Beach, California, in 1925. According to the Encyclopedia of Surfing, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin called it a “superhuman rescue act. On June 14, 1925, a 40-foot shipping boat was wrecked by dangerous waters, sending fishermen into the sea, according to an article about the rescue on the surfing website The Inertia. Kahanamoku, then 34, was at the beach surfing when the wreck occurred. He and two other surfers helped rescue 12 fisherman, though 17 lost their lives, according to the Inertia article. He was responsible for eight of the saves, pulling the fishermen onto his board. “In a matter of minutes we were making rescues; (people were) screaming, gagging, thrashing. Some victims we could not save at all,” Kahanamoku recalled in the book Legendary Surfers by Malcom Gault Williams. “We lost count of the number of trips we made. Without the boards, we would probably not have been able to rescue a single person.” The “Great Rescue” led to surfboards becoming a common tool for rescue swimmers.

He Used His Fame as a Swimmer to Bring Surfing to the U.S. Mainland

Duke Kahanamoku helped make surfing popular on the mainland United States, using his fame as a swimmer to draw crowds to events in California and on the Atlantic Coast.. According to the Encyclopedia of Surfing, he first held exhibitions in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1912, after returning from the Olympics as a gold medalist. He then brought the Hawaiian form of surfing to Australia and New Zealand in 1914 and 1915, and helped popularize surfing along the Southern California coast from 1915 to the 1930s.

He Served as an Ambassador for Hawaii & Helped Push for Statehood

Duke Kahanamoku helped push for Hawaii to become a state. He served as the mostly ceremonial sheriff of Honolulu, and welcomed politicians and other dignitaries to the islands, while also bringing Hawaiian culture to the mainland.

After Hawaii became a state, the position of sheriff, which he had held for several years, was eliminated. He was given the paid title of “Ambassador of Aloha.”

Kahanamoku wrote on the back of his business card, “In Hawaii we greet friends, loved ones or strangers with ‘Aloha,’ which means with love. Aloha is the key word to the universal spirit of real hospitality, which makes Hawaii renowned as

the world’s center for understanding and fellowship. Try meeting or leaving people with Aloha. You’ll be surprised by their reaction. I believe it, and it is my creed. Aloha to you.”

Kahanamoku was also an actor, appearing in at least 14 films, according to IMDB. Because of his Hawaiian heritage and dark skin, many of his film roles were as foreigners or Native Americans, like “Native Chief” in the 1955 film Mister Roberts, and The Devil-Ape in 1927’s Isle of Sunken Gold.

According to the New York Times, Kahanamoku also dealt with racism during his life because of skin color, including a time when he was refused service at a restaurant in Lake Arrowhead, California, that told him, “We don’t serve Negroes.”

He Was Honored With a Bronze Statue in Waikiki

Duke Kahanamoku, who was married to Nadine Alexander in 1940 but did not have any children, has been honored with a bronze statue in Waikiki. He is also in several surfing, swimming and Olympics halls of fame.

Wednesday Activity 1 Lua Pele (Volcano)


Description Hawaii is known for its volcanoes. They even have some that still erupt. Members will do an experiment that will demonstrate the eruption of a volcano.

Objective Members will analyze what happens when a volcano erupts underwater.

What You Need

Burner or Hot Plate

Sand

Wax

Heat Proof Glass Beaker (Pyrex)

Water

How to Prepare

Steps to Follow

1

Say:

When you hear about a volcano erupting, what do you think is going on? You probably think of red hot chunks of rock being hurled thousands of feet in the air, flows of liquid magma, and plumes of smoke. That's not always the case. Some volcanoes erupt underwater and their smoking hot by-products are immediately cooled. Let’s do an experiment that shows what that would look like.

2 Place a small piece (about 1″ x 1″) of wax in the bottom of a glass

beaker. Try to get it as close to the center of the beaker as possible.

3 Pour enough sand into the beaker to completely cover the cube of

wax.

4 Pour water slowly into the beaker until the cup is nearly full. Don't


34

34 of 54


fill it up all the way or you might have some spillage.

5 Place the beaker onto a burner or hot plate and turn the heat on to

a medium-high temperature setting.

6 Observe as the wax heats beneath the sand, it melts and finds its

way out of the sandy trap.

How Does It Work?

The core of the earth has liquid hot magma that, on occasion, erupts through the crust.

The volcanic eruptions we generally think of occur on land and result in the sky-high smoke plumes and lava flows that we see on the news

Nearly 80% of all volcanic eruptions occur underwater, but until scientists got footage of an underwater eruption in 2009, we had no idea what they looked like.

With the Volcano in a Cup, you recreate liquid hot magma by heating wax that is covered by sand.

The liquid hot wax bubbles through the sand and causes miniature eruptions in the surface of the sand as it does so.

Real Pineapple, Bananas and watermelon (to serve after the activity)

How to Prepare Children need to be careful of sharp points on each scale

Steps to Follow

1 Divide members into teams and assign each team a project(s) to complete.

2 Pinecone Pineapple: Paint pinecones yellow and the top green. Let dry.

3

Watermelon Bowl: Prep your materials. Cut a newspaper into strips. Select a bowl to use as a mold and wrap the outside of the bowl and rim with plastic wrap.

4

Dip a strip of newspaper into your glue mixture. Remove the excess glue by running your finger and thumb over the strip. Lay the strip across the bottom of the bowl. Repeat with another strip while slightly overlapping the strips. Continue to work up to the rim of the bowl. Allow layer to completely dry (we let it sit overnight).

5

Repeat process 3 more times for a total of 4 (or more) layers. Alternate each layer in the direction you lay the strips.

6 Peel off your bowl and trim the rim with scissors once papier-mâché is completely dry.

7 Paint your papier-mâché bowl with a layer of white paint, inside and out. Let dry.

Papier-mâché Bananas:

Form the shape of a banana, from the newspaper. Sculpt them into

the shape of a banana. If you’re doing a more complicated shape,

you may want to do it in parts and then tape those parts together. 13 Tape it up with masking tape. You don’t have to tape the whole

thing, but enough so that it maintains its shape.

14 Precut newspaper strips about an inch thick and 4-6 inches long.

15 Wrap the newspaper strips around our banana until the entire banana is covered. Two or three layers covering the whole shape is ideal.

16 Allow it to harden for a full 24 hours, preferably in the sun, before painting.

PAPER MACHE RECIPE

It’s not an exact recipe.

Mix 2 cups of flour and 2 cups of water in a bowl.

Adding the Elmer’s liquid glue is optional. If you choose to add it, add about 4 squeezes.

If the paste feels gloppy, add some more water.

Monday Facilitator Resource SMASH BOOK Directions

SMASH BOOK STEPS Step 1: Find a notebook and gather supplies. Any notebook would work. Your supplies can be as simple as glue (or tape) and a black pen or marker. Also use a package of color paper, pre-cut to photo size, some scissors, colored markers, and stickers! Step 2: Print your photos or cut them out of magazines.

Step 3: Start gluing! Your Smash Book can be chronological, but sometimes that doesn’t happen. A typical “page” is a title in bigger letters at the top, 2-3 photos glued (or taped) on the page, and then a brief description of the photos. Sometimes, you can do a journal-style entry with just one photo. You can only write names or places and dates. Smash Books are so flexible. You can use colored paper to accent the photos and use stickers or simple drawings with markers to embellish too, but you don’t have to!

Bonus: Save ticket stubs, programs, maps, etc. whenever you remember. These can help trigger memories for the outings where you forgot to take a photo.

Step 4: Don’t be too organized. This is the key to a Smash Book – don’t get so caught up in doing it right that you never do it at all! If you are in a busy season of life, maybe you just get as far as printing photos and sliding them between pages for later or take the time to make 3 or 4 beautiful, elaborate pages. The Smash Book not only keeps record of the photos you take and the experience you have, but it can tell a story of the real life you are living.

Volunteer to be the leader. The leader will initiate an action (such as clapping their hands, tapping their head, patting their knees, etc.) and the rest of the group mimics the action. The leader will change actions- and when he/she does, the rest of the group mimics the new action. (The challenge for the group is to try to observe the leader and change actions in a subtle way, so that the “outsider” cannot figure out who the leader is.)

4

Continue the action until the “outsider” guesses who the leader is (they can have 3 guesses!), or tell them who it is if they cannot guess correctly. Facilitator will repeat with a new “outsider” and a new leader.

5

Discussion Questions: Facilitator will ask the “outsiders” and the members who participated the following questions: What made it hard or easy to figure out who the leader was? Did you have any strategies for figuring out who the leader was? What did you notice about the leader(s)? Did they have different styles or methods of leading? What skills did the leaders need to be successful? What was it like to be a follower? What skills did the followers need? What aspects of this game can you take and apply to real life experiences of being a leader or a follower? Have you ever had to lead a group of people to accomplish a task? Tell about a time when you had to follow someone.

Overview

Have you heard about the “Super Tree”? A tree that can provide economic and ecosystem services to humans and mangrove forests? This tree has a system that is so enormously complex, it still leaves scientists trying to learn more! The Mangrove Trees is not only interconnected within the ecosystem but they also make up a transitional zone between land and ocean; connecting and supporting both. It is no surprise that mangroves are called “roots of the sea.” Let’s discover how this “Super Tree” was used to save the lives and a village in Africa.

Location Learning Center or Multipurpose Center


Steps to Follow

Say: Have you ever heard of a Mangrove Tree? Do you know what is so special about this tree? This is a Mangrove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InyJKZirBEQ (1:31)

Say:

About Mangroves

What are Mangroves? Mangroves are forests of salt-tolerant trees that grow in the shallow tidal waters of some coastal .areas. They require slow water currents and plenty of fine, organic sediment in which to set their roots as well as protection from high .energy waves. They are the home to many species.

Mangroves are remarkably tough. Most live on muddy soil, but some also grow on sand, peat, and coral rock. They live in water up to 100 times saltier than most other plants can tolerate. They thrive despite twice-daily flooding by ocean tides; even if this water were fresh, the flooding alone would drown most trees.

Monday Activity 2 : Communication is Key—Making Connections

Location Multipurpose Center or Learning Center Estimated Time

30-45 minutes

Description Members will discover the importance of communication through an interactive activity.

Objective Members will use communication skills to guide a partner to make a shape.

What You Need Pretzel sticks (skinny, small ones)

Paper Towels

How to Prepare

Steps to Follow

1

Say: Dr. Sato had experiences as a child that helped him to relate to the people of Harigigo. Do you think he would have been able to relate to them if he hadn’t experienced these things? As we have discussed before communication is an important skill for leaders to have. Dr. Sato’s vision to help the people of Hargigo had to have the buy in of the people it was intended for. Let’s practice using our communication skills with an activity.

2 Pair up with another person and sit back to back.

3

Place a paper towel down flat in front of each member and give each member 10-15 pretzels. The member pairs will decide who will be the communicator and who will be the receiver.

4 Say: The communicator will go first and make a design/shape on their paper towel.

5 Say: The communicator will then explain their design/shape one pretzel stick at a time. (Example: “I placed


12

12 of 40


my first pretzel stick vertical in the middle of the towel.”)

6

Say: The receiver of the information will listen and do as the communicator instructs. They cannot ask any questions to clarify the instructions they are receiving.

7 Look and see how well they match.

8 Switch roles. The receiver now becomes the communicator, but this time the receiver CAN clarify and ask questions.

9

Ask the following reflection questions:

What was it like to follow directions and not be able to ask questions?

Did you find yourself getting frustrated?

Discuss what it was like to be able to talk?

Why was this easier?

Which is better one-way or two-way communication? Why?

1. What do the Mangroves do to keep their ecosystem free from pollutants?




http://www.mesa.edu.au/mangroves/mangroves05.asp






17

17 of 40


(Mangrove trees act as a sink absorbing pollutants from sewage and water waste.)

2. Where does the salt on the Mangrove come from? (Because of the excessive salt in their habitat, grey mangroves secrete salts directly from two glands at .the base of each leaf It is not unusual to see the leaves covered by salt crystals.)

3. How do these trees help with Global Warming? (They take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it, helping to reduce global warming and ocean acidification.)

4. Do mammals live in the mangroves? Why or Why not? 5. Name five insects or animals that live in the mangrove? 6. Where are these animals found? (What part of the country)

Thursday Activity 1 Setting Goals and Making Good Decisions


Description The student will recognize that leaders seek out information before making a decision.

Objective Members will identify and demonstrate processes for making short and long term goals.

What You Need

Red, white and blue markers

Clear plastic bag

Chart paper and markers

Decision-Making Scenarios Sheet

Handout – Decision-Making Points to Remember

How to Prepare Chart the seven steps to decision making on chart paper and

display

Steps to Follow

1 Marker Pre-Activity: Show members a clear plastic bag filled with red, blue, and white markers.

2 Ask for two volunteers to participate in the demonstration.

3

Explain the rules: Participant may use only one hand. (Bag will be held open for student) In 60 seconds the member will take out as many markers as possible. After the first participant completes his/her turn, change the information slightly.

4 Say: “I forgot to mention that the white chips are worth $10; the red $50; and blue $100.”

5

Sort and add chips. Record on board. Have members multiply their total in dollars. Participant number two will have the largest amount in dollars, however not necessarily the largest number of chips.

6 Discuss how a little knowledge about a decision can alter how one approaches a situation and how it can improve the outcome. Relate to career goals.

7 Say: There are seven steps to Decision-Making 1. Define your problem 2. Gather information and resources


29

29 of 40


3. List options 4. Weigh and compare options 5. Make a decision 6. Make a plan of action 7. Evaluate the decision.

8 Discuss the types of decisions and the seven-step process to decision-making.

9

Say: Decision making starts with vision. In order to set career and personal goals, take some time to think about the knowledge you have of yourself and visualize what you want your life to look like. Think about where you would like to live. Would moving to another city or even a state be an option? Do you want a family? What kind of work would you like? What would you do for leisure? What kind of lifestyle would you want? The process of answering these questions can help you to develop your own personal vision. Once you have that vision, you have the raw materials than can be turned into short-term and long-term goals. The steps to making a decision can help you with many types of career-related decisions. Start with the “big picture” and then consider how your objectives will help you reach your vision. You can then makes decisions and plan short and long-term goals.

10

Group students into four teams. Give each team one of the decision-making scenarios. Each team will use the seven-step decision-making process to work through their designated decision-making scenario.

11 Illustrate the members’ decisions and its outcomes on a sheet of chart paper.

12 Present decisions and results.

Thursday Facilitator Resource Decision Making Scenarios

Scenario 1: Football season starts this weekend and Steve is excited about his school’s first game. He has already purchased his ticket and has made plans to meet his friends there. His school team is playing their long-time rival and it should be the best game of the season. On the night before the game, Steve’s parents receive a phone call from friends visiting in a city 30 miles away. Steve’s parents have not seen these friends in years because they live in a distant state. Friday night is the only time Steve’s parents can drive to see their friends. Steve’s parents have asked him to stay home from the game to baby-sit his six-year-old brother. They realize Steve has made plans to go to the game but feel that he will have an opportunity to attend many more games this year. Steve’s parents will let him make the final decision. What should he do? Scenario 2: Marie is in the eighth grade at East Middle School. She earns above-average grades in all of her school courses except science. Her favorite after-school activity is playing basketball. She would like to play basketball in high school next year. However, the high school says that athletes must pass all their classes in order to participate in a sport. This summer Marie can participate in a special summer science school that will help her in science. She also has been given the chance to go to basketball camp. The basketball camp takes place the exact time as the science school. Marie has two weeks before she either has to sign up for basketball camp or summer science school. What should she do? Scenario 3: A not-so-popular student has invited you to a sleepover at a birthday party on Friday night. You have accepted the invitation and are planning to attend. On Wednesday, you are invited to a boy-girl party for the same Friday night by one of the most popular students in your school, someone you have hoped to become friends with. After talking with your friends, you realize most of them will attend the boy-girl party. Your parents have told you it is your decision, but that you should attend the party you responded to first. You really want to be a part of the popular crowd. What do you do? Scenario 4: You are an eighth grade student. Since the seventh grade you have been on the Junior Varsity Cheerleading Squad. You recently tried out for the Varsity team for this year. You were notified that you made the team. The cheerleading sponsor informs you that you can no longer be in band if you are cheering on Varsity football nights, since the band marches during halftime at the football games. You have been in band since fifth grade and have really enjoyed being in the band and going on band trips. Next year the band is going to Disney World. What do you do?

Wednesday Activity 2 The Power of Light


Description Members will use the power of their eyes to bend a straw sitting in half a glass of water without even touching it!

Objective Members will analyze what occurs when light travels through water and air.

What You Need

A glass half filled with water

A straw

2 eyes (preferably yours

Chart Paper/Notebook Paper (per team)

Markers/Pencils

How to Prepare

Use these notes to explain what is happening:

Our eyes are using light to see various objects all the time, but when this light travels through different mediums (such as water & air) it changes direction slightly. Light refracts (or bends) when it passes from water to air. The straw looks bent because you are seeing the bottom part through the water and air but the top part through the air only.

Steps to Follow

1 Fill a glass halfway with water.

2 Look at the straw from the top and bottom of the glass.

3 Look at the straw from the side of the glass, focus on the point where the straw enters the water, what is strange about what you see?

4 Chart your findings on a piece of paper.

5 Share what you discovered.

Wednesday Activity 3 Race to the Letters


Description Who can work together to accomplish this goal? Members will need to work as a well-oiled machine to be successful and be the first to spell words correctly.

Objective Members will utilize team members to win a game.

What You Need Alphabet Cards

How to Prepare

Steps to Follow

1 Divide the group into two teams.

2 Arrange a set of alphabet cards on each of two chairs or tables that are set fifteen to twenty feet away from two starting lines.

3

Direct each team to stand behind one of the starting lines. Have your list of words ready (use suggestions below) and when you call out a word, each team must send a player for each letter of the word to the stack of cards. They must find the correct letters and hold them up in the proper order so that you can read the word. For instance, if you say CAT, three people must run to the letters, grab one C, one A, and one T. Then they must arrange themselves in order, and hold up the cards so that you can read the word CAT. The team who spells the word correctly first gets a point. After the word is spelled, the letters should be returned to the stack.

4 Play until one team has earned a designated number of points, or until you’ve exhausted your list of words. Whoever has the points wins.

5 Suggested words to use: Dreams- outlaw- New York- harmonic-goals- listen-angels- symbolic
