You will soon be assigned a team!
Team Hunters or Team Gatherers.
Each team will have a ...
Leader - who picks who does what job, makes sure teammates are working, and helps others.
Paper Cutter - who is in charge of using scissors safely.
Folder - who is in charge of folding papers properly.
Time Keeper - who tracks the time to make sure the team doesn't run out of time and helps others.
Hunters will need one paper, two papers of another color, and glue.
Gatherers will need three different colored papers and a stapler.
Watch the paper spear video below if your a hunter.
Watch the paper basket video below if your a gatherer.
You will also see RED "animals" to be hunted by hunters.
Around the room you will see GREEN "vegetables" to be gathered by gatherers.
Once teams are quiet and understand the rules each team will try to find one food for each team member. No food? Your team member "dies" and has to sit down in their seat while others survive.
At the end of each round the food will be collected, Mr. Bergh will take some food out, and those who "died" will be allowed to hide what's left around the room for the next round.
If only one person is left alive in a team, they are allowed to join another team, doesn't matter if they are hunter or gatherer. Keep playing until we run out of time or only one team is left.
