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 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 26 and May 21, 1999 with registration beginning April 1. Hopefully this time frame will accommodate all the Spring Breaks that may occur during the month of April!
To PlayChoose an explorer anywhere in the world. Students, research facts concerning the explorer then compose nine interesting clues. Send them along with your the name of your explorer to the Explorer Moderators at dianes@halcyon.com. 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 "yes" or "no" question per week to each team. At the end of the three weeks the school which guessed the most explorers will be declared the winner!
