Fun Facts:
- "in 1990 the Nintendo mascot, Super Mario, was more
recognized by American children than Mickey Mouse." (Source: "Game
Over: How Nintendo Zapped an American Industry, Captured Your Dollars, and
Enslaved Your Children" by David Sheff)

2 made more in opening weekend than Incredibles (Source: DFC Intelligence)
Game: Scavenger Hunt
- Instructions:You have been given a list of descriptions.
(Student info is from the the "Getting to know you
form" that
you completed last week.)
There is one description for each person in the class.
- Primary Objective: Find the names of students in your class that match
the descriptions on the list handed out to you.
- Secondary Objective: Find all your group members.
- Winning Conditions: The first person to match
names to all the descriptions, put your list in the
envelope (remember to put
your name on it), find all your group members, and sit
on the floor with all your group
members wins 100 points for that group.
What does 100 points
mean? I haven't decided yet! ;)
- Rules of Play:
- You may talk to any person in the class. Keep questions related
to the items on the list.
- You cannot ignore someone
who is asking you a question. (If more than one person
is talking to you, take turns responding to each one)
- You can ask people their names. You cannot
ask directly which description is about them. For example,
don't ask them to point to their description on the list.
- If you are
asked a question, please answer truthfully. (If the question
is too personal,
you can always refuse to answer, but don't try to prevent
people from finding out which was your description.)
