How to Play:
- Students are placed in teams of two or small groups (well behind first level of hoops)
- 1 member from each team competes against another member from different team starting at red hoop level 1 (Rock-Paper-Scissor challenge)
- Winner of challenge collects bone for each level and brings back to team, Loser performs given task before returning to team.
- Students advance a level with each win.
- With each loss students DO NOT COLLECT a BONE.
- Losers return to the last level they were at (if cranium collected at first level, then can advance to orange. If all bones collected at orange level then can start at yellow, etc.)
- Teams/students cannot advance a level until they have collected ALL bones from last level.
- Once all bones have been collected, they may begin to assemble. Teams may NOT assemble until all bones have been collected.
- Individual bone pieces will be found off to side of each level inside of a blue hoop
