ORDER OF EVENTS/ACTIVITIES

Introduction: This is where you will use appropriate leadership style and energy to set the tone for the activity.
In this section you should consider: Intro yourself and other leaders; Intro the activity; Get participants engaged
and motivated for the event.
Activity
Leaders will explain that we will be doing an Amazing
Race type of event. Each group will have to complete a
task that will require teamwork and then will be given a
clue that will lead them to the next location when they
finish the task. The first group to make it to the final
location will win a prize. The purpose of this activity is
to able to work together with your team members.

Middle: This is the main content of the event. Here you will want to provide: Detailed instructions for the
event; Your expectations for the participants (outcomes, ground rules, etc).
Activity
There will be three puzzles mixed together in the middle
of the class room. Each group will have to find their
pieces. Each member has to pick up one puzzle piece,
and can only get one at a time. When they finish their
puzzle they will get a clue to the next location. Due to
the fact the Amazing Race usually throws an advantage
or a disadvantage at the groups, two groups will get a 48
piece puzzle and the other group will receive two 24
piece puzzles. (Classroom)
When they get to the next location, the group will be

without talking. This activity must be completed in order
for them to move to the next location. When they can
untangle themselves, they will receive a clue to the next
location. (Lion Shrine If the weather does not permit,

The next activity will be Salt and Pepper, each team

member will have a sheet of paper taped to their back
with a word written on it. Their word will pair with one
other persons word (i.e. Salt and Pepper), but no one will
know what is on their back. Group members will have to
give each other clues as to what is on their back and then
try to find their pair. (Outside Willard-where the preacher
meets Right inside the doors of Willard if weather does
not permit)

The final clue will say that the group has to go to the

has to be holding something Penn State related.

Considerations for risk management, behavior management and motivation strategies
The motivation will be the prize at the end. None of our activities are particularly dangerous so there is not a lot
of risk. Team members will have to be respectful of other students on campus that may be in class or on their
way to class, but our locations will be in common areas (outdoors if possible) so there should not be any
interruptions.
