Rules:
Scavenger Hunt
There may
be one team entry per school, with each team consisting of at least one but not
more than four students. No more than one upper-level student (German III, IV,
or V) may be on a team, and no advantaged speakers
may be on a team. Each team may use one dictionary. Contestants will be given
a map of the campus (and/or surrounding area), a set of directions in German,
and paper for writing answers. The team must check out a route on a map
according to written German directions. Vocabulary will be kept simple. Teams
will be required to answer questions about objects, places, signs, etc., which
can be found on the map. Answers must be written in simple but complete
German sentences. The team which finishes the mapwork in the 45-minute time
limit and answers the most questions in the most grammatically-correct German
will be declared the winner.
