Hunt For Famous Explorers Game
We have hunted Country Capitals and Landmarks around the world.
Now, the Kent Learning Center Moderators challenge you: WHO?? are the people that traveled into unknown places
and discovered
some of the landmarks or founded the cities that became
capitals? Some of these explorers may have blazed the way
for for others that came later and founded the cities or
built the landmarks.
Hunt for Famous Explorers is patterned after Hunt for Country
Capitals and Hunt for World Landmarks so many of you already
know the rules.
The game will be played between April 27 and May 22, 1998 with
registration beginning April 1.
Hopefully this time frame will accommodate all the
Spring Breaks that may occur during the month of April!!
For Teachers/Adults: Please subscribe to the
Kidproj
-Coord list for adult communication. Just add a second line directly below the "subscribe kidproj your name" line to the above message:

Pretending we are detectives like in the popular game, Carmen
SanDiego, let's follow the clues to discover who these explorers
are!!
To Play
Choose an explorer anywhere in the world. Students, research facts
concerning the explorer and
compose nine interesting clues and send them along with
your the name of your explorer to the Explorer
Moderators. Three clues
per week
will be posted by the Explorer Moderators to the
Kidproject board
over a three week period. All
registered schools may ask one question per
week
which requires a "yes" or "no" answer to each school. At the
end of the three weeks the school which
guessed the most explorers will
be declared the winner!
