Welcome to the Jungle!

If your birthday is in January thru March go to table one.

If your birthday is in April thru June go to table two.

If your birthday is in July thru September go to table three.

If your birthday is in October thru December go to table four.

Then wait for next instructions…

The oldest person in each group is your group guide. The youngest person is your navigator.

Guides need to come to the front of the room and pick up their jungle survival kits and passports from the teacher now.

All others silently wait for their guide to return.

This is a contest to see which group will get out of the jungle first.

When told to do so, your guide will open your jungle kit and your group will swiftly assemble the MyPlate icon in your kit. You must also put all the foods in the correct location on the plate.

Navigators in each group, get ready because your part is coming up. Keep watch on the screen.

BY THE WAY…………..

The navigator of the group needs to come get your packet of foods.

BETTER HURRY!!
