Full Description:

I: Flag Making: Creativity fold :15 minutes
    A: Split the chapter into 2 tribes with a generally equal amount of people of each.
    B: Present the following speech:
        “Hello girls! Welcome to Survivor: Achotian Isles, season 20.5.Now that you are split up into your tribes, you are missing one important thing: your tribe flag! Lucky for you, making a flag is your next challenge! Here’s how you play.
        “Each tribe will get all of the art supplies that they need to make their tribe flag.  Once we announce that it is time to start, you will have 10 minutes to work. After those ten minutes are up, you must carry over your tribe flag together to the judging table.  Whoever has the best tribe flag wins reward.  Would you like to hear what you’re playing for?
        “Well, you have to wait until you win to find out!”
    C: Put the tribes in 2 separate areas of the room with one set of tape, a   box  of
markers, scissors and one piece of paper.  Then, say:
        “Survivors ready? GO!”
After saying that, begin timing ten minutes.
D: Once the 10 minutes are up and the tribes walk their flag to the judging station, choose the flag that is the most creative to win.  After announcing who won, give out the prizes and proceed to the next challenge.

II: Making a Dance: Recreation fold :15 minutes
        A: Bring the tribes back to an area together and present this speech:
        “Now that you have a tribe flag, you need to show your tribe spirit! In your next challenge, you will create a tribe dance.  Your dance will be to the Alvin and the Chipmunks song, Single Ladies.  Your dance should, in some way, relate back to the chapter.  You will have ten minutes to create you dance that you will then perform. Whoever has the best dance, wins.  Would you like to hear what you are playing for?
        “CHOCOLATE!” (show a plate with Hershey’s Kisses on it.  Each winner will receive two of the Hershey’s Kisses.
        B: Again, put the tribes into two different sections of the room.  Once they are set up, say, “Survivor’s ready? GO!” From there, begin timing ten minutes and turn on the “Single Ladies” song and have it playing continually through the challenge.
    C: When the time is up, have one person from each tribe play “rock paper scissors” with the other to see who will show their dance first. Once both tribes are done performing, choose a winner and give each girl 2 Hershey’s Kisses.

SUPPLIES:

III: Tangled Alvin: Sisterhood fold :10 minutes
    A: Bring each tribe back to starting place and read speech:
        “Now that you have the tribe spirit down, it’s time to make some friends! In your next challenge, one girl, who will be blindfolded, will be lead through an obstacle course by another girl from her tribe.  While that girl in blindfolded, the rest of the tribe will have their hands tangled together.The guide can only use words to guide her. Once the girl is through the course, she can take off her blindfold.  After the blindfold is off, the rest of the tribe can begin to untangle them with one catch, they cannot speak.  After they
are untangled, the tribe will run to the wall, remove Alvin from it and come back to the start.  The first tribe who gets back to the start with Alvin wins.  Would you like to hear what you are playing  for?
              “Well, once again, you have to wait until you win to find out.  Now, this challenge may seem a little confusing, so, are there any questions?” (Answer questions)
    B:  Ask the tribe to assign roles.  Then, blindfold one member and tangle the rests’ arms together.  After, say, “Survivors ready? GO!”

Each tribe will start out with one clue that will lead you on a scavenger hunt around to house to find all of the pollutants. The first team to bring all of their paper cut outs of pollutants back to the start wins.  Would you like to hear what you are playing for?
        “Sorry girls, but you have to wait to find out.  Are there any questions before we start?” (answer questions)
    B: Give each tribe one clue (each starting clue is different.)  Here are two examples of starting clues:

          2. I bring you light in the dark to stay up late.  If you don’t turn me off when you leave a room, I am pollution bait.

      “Welcome to tribal council.  Don’t worry, no one is getting voted out tonight.  Instead, we will talk about our Survivor: Achotian Isles experience and also vote for a winner.  But first, it is time to reflect on the game.  We will ask you questions about what you thought of the game and to answer, you can raise you hand to answer a question.  Once all of the questions have been answered, it will be time to vote for a winner.  Let’s get started!
        “What was your favorite challenge to play?
        “Which challenge do you think exhibited the 6-Folds the best?
        “What have you learned about yourself through these challenges?
        “How did you work with your tribe to complete the challenges?
    B: Once all of the questions have been answered, say this:
        “Now, it is time to vote for the grand prize winner. Basically, the grand prize winner is the Most Valuable Sister.  This means that they played a large role in helping their tribe to succeed. Each individual will now have time to vote privately in a different section of the room. NOW IT IS TIME TO VOTE!”  Allow the girls to vote.  Once they have all voted, say, “I’ll tally the votes.” Then, read the votes like they do on Survivor, keeping track of who gets a certain amount of votes. Once the votes are read, distribute the prize.  Then say, “But, everyone here is a winner! So, everyone will get a certificate of excellence!” Then, distribute the certificates and say, “I hope you all had fun playing!”

        -Prize
        -Certificate
