Just like on the Amazing Race we have to complete Route Info clues to send us to different states. We have to complete detours which give us a choice of which activity to complete and we have roadblocks. Once we figure out which state we need to "travel" to, we add it to our Google Tour Builder which makes us feel like we are really there. We have been completing this race across the Western Region of the United States.
So far my favorite thing we did was the song. During our stop in Colorado, you could choose to answer questions or make your own song about the mining location we were in. We picked make your own song so we could be creative. I also loved Colorado because it was so fun to make the Colorado flag and the meaning behind it. Check our song out here:
My favorite part so far was the hula dancing, it was so fun to learn how to hula dance, from real Hawaiians. We got to hula dance with the Moana theme song! Other groups choose to make a Hawaiian lei and then we all did the limbo like we were at a luau. It really felt like we were in Hawaii!
My favorite stop was Wyoming. I liked Wyoming because I got to learn about the Lewis and Clark trail. I learned that on the way they ran out of food and ate their horses!! Another favorite stop so far was Alaska because where we learned that the Iditarod Race starts in Alaska. We even pretended to cruise out of Alaska to Hawaii.
At one point of the race we even make Flip Grids with our teams, because on the show they do interviews of all the teams, it is so fun to show everybody how everyone's teams were doing! But we can't forget the best part...jumping on the finish mat at the end of every leg.
Every member of the team had to be there in order for Miss Klipfel to check us in. She even greeted us and helped us feel like we were in that state. So far in the Amazing Race we have learned that we have to work together to get through one leg. You really have to work as a team!
