Scavenger Hunt By: Stella* Age: 9 1/2

On Monday, we went on a scavenger hunt. It was for our Destination Imagination Class. We went on it so that we could see all of the possibilities of materials for our challenge that we picked. We are doing a theatrical challenge this year. Last year our team got 60 points out of like 80 for our skit that one of my team members and I wrote! (YEAH!) ;)
We went to Home Depot. At Home Depot we got a list of things. Here is an example of what we might have had to find in Home Depot:

1.(E) List some ways of changing one color into another color.
1. (Example answer that my team thought of): Stained glass window
We would have to find as many ways as we could. We had an hour to look for a list of 18 things, (I think it was 18!) We teamed up into groups. I was in a group of two other girls. We have two instructors. One of the instructors went with me and my friends, Mom went with Leo and some of his friends, and then our other instructor went with two other kids. We also then went over to Michael's and did the same thing. At the end of the Home Depot Scavenger Hunt we got prizes. My team tied with the third team. Leo's team came in close behind. (All of the different teams that paired up were from our DI team.) The prizes were M&Ms, skittles, etc.
We made a chant that represents our team. We present ourselves to all of the other teams at the challenge. One of the girls on the team has a little sister who is going to be our mascot. She is going to be in a M&M costume. This is our chant:

2-4-6-8-PEANUT M&MS ARE GREAT, AND SO ARE MY DI TEAMMATES!

Let me explain why that is peanut M&Ms! You might say,"Why not M&Ms?" Well, we were going to do that but one of the girls was like, "But I HATE M&Ms! I like peanut M&Ms though!" ;) I said, "Then how about this, "2468 Peanut M&Ms are great..." One of the boys finished with, "...and so are my DI teammates!" Then it stuck!
