What is SURVIVOR?

What do we have to do to win?

What are the “challenges?” Each concept has at least ONE major

challenge, which is part of the game, so GEAR UP to compete!

Who is in my team?

You and your team partner should have already picked a name and created your pendant. Pendants MUST be worn when you are in

the game (not eliminated) When you are voted off, you must

surrender your pendants to the WALL.

How does this game work?

Teacher teaches the concept and vocabulary

Practice what you’ve learned

Team Challenges are handed out

Team practice and prepare to

present for the challenge

Teams present

Teacher grades

Vote offGroup with immunity is announced

If my team has been voted off, can we get back in the game? YES!

Teams are REQUIRED to continue to compete for immunity for a grade. If a team wins immunity that has been

voted off, then they are back in the game and they choose the team to replace them on the wall. Regular voting still happens (so, 2 teams are

eliminated in this case)

How will we be graded?

What happens if more than one group gets a perfect 20 on a challenge? The teacher looks at creativity,

innovativeness, and presentation details to decide who gets “IMMUNITY.”

How do WE vote?

After hearing all the presentations, write down (on your note-card) the name of the poet whom you would like to vote off the island. Remember: You cannot vote off the

group that won IMMUNITY. If you do, your vote will NOT be counted! Only one vote PER TEAM!
