How does it work?

Students work to move their pieces across the game board by completing 5 challenges and 2 checkpoints in the following order:

• Challenge 1: ELA activity
• Challenge 2: Writing challenge
• Checkpoint 1: Craft – Directed drawing
• Challenge 3: Math activity
• Challenge 4: STEM challenge
• Checkpoint 2: Craft – Directed drawing
• Challenge 5: Diorama

A checkpoint is optional, but if a student completes a checkpoint, they get an incentive. You can modify the checkpoint activity and the incentive for your classroom!

Teacher Tips:

• Use a hanging file folder with each challenge, checkpoint, and answer key inside. Input your students' names in the editable label according to their group and put it on the front of the file for easy reference.
• Leave an empty hanging file at the back of the box for completed work.
• Display the finished artwork, boats, and dioramas in the classroom and make a book out of the research projects for a fun little exhibit of your students' handiwork.
