SEARCH is to reach the treasure chest first will all 6 MAGIC
ISLAND SEARCH key cards and the greatest number of digits flipped over
on one's Flip-Card Board. In doing so, a student opens the
treasure chest and collects the riches that win the game.
Preparation:
Game Board Setup:
-
The students choose a set of MAGIC
ISLAND SEARCH key cards. The 36 cards are divided according to
their MAGIC ISLAND SEARCH key areas.
-
The appropriate 6 cards are put in any
order in the correct MAGIC ISLAND SEARCH key area with question
sides up.
-
The 6 MAGIC ISLAND SEARCH Cover Cards
are put on top of the correct key area pile so that the questions of
the cards are not displayed.
Flip Card Board Setup:
-
Each student places six digits ranging
from 1-3 on his/her Flip-Card Board.
-
No more than three of a digit may be
displayed.
-
The students do not show the other
students their digits until they are all finished.
General Rules:
-
The students flip over as many
Flip-Card Board digits as possible by answering the question cards
correctly.
-
The students must collect the 6
different MAGIC ISLAND SEARCH key cards to complete the game.
-
In order to turn over more of their
Flip-Card Board digits, the students make repeat visits to MAGIC
ISLAND SEARCH areas after collecting the 6 different MAGIC ISLAND
SEARCH key cards.
-
The students may refer to the
Measurement Chart at any time throughout the game.
Specific Game Rules:
-
All students put their markers on the
start space.
-
The students roll to see who starts.
The highest numbered person goes first, the second highest goes
second, and so on.
-
On the game board are brown path
spaces that go in many directions to the different MAGIC ISLAND
SEARCH areas. A student may go on any path that he/she
desires. Also, a student may travel through one key place to
reach another key place.
-
When a student reaches a MAGIC ISLAND
SEARCH place, he/she draws from that MAGIC ISLAND SEARCH pile of
cards one card from anywhere in the card pile. The Cover Card
always remains on the top of the pile so that the questions cannot
be seen.
-
Without looking at the answer on the
back of the card, the student tells all in the group the correct
answer number. The pupil next turns the card over to see if
he/she is correct.
-
If the answer is correct, the player
tries to match the answer number on the MAGIC ISLAND SEARCH key card
to one digit that he/she has on his/her Flip-Card Board.
-
If the student is incorrect, he/she
keeps the card but does not turn over any Flip-Card Board digits.
The student also loses his/her next turn.
-
After collecting and answering
correctly a MAGIC ISLAND SEARCH key card, the student travels to
other areas to collect the 5 remaining cards.
-
As a student collects the MAGIC ISLAND
SEARCH key cards, they are placed below his/her Flip-Card Board.
After each card is answered correctly, the answer digit flipped over
on the student's Flip-Card Board. If no digit remains on the
Flip-Card Board that is the same as the answer of a MAGIC ISLAND
SEARCH key card., no digit is turned over. However, the
student keeps the key card.
-
After collecting the 6 different MAGIC
ISLAND SEARCH key cards, the student returns to any key areas to
find answer cards that may allow him/her to turn over more of
his/her Flip-Card Board digits.
-
In deciding what areas to visit, the
students studies the answer cards of the other students to determine
what numbers are already taken. For each MAGIC ISLAND SEARCH
area, there are 6 cards. The answer on these 6 cards are two
1's, two 2's, and two 3's. The above student needs MAGIC
ISLAND SEARCH question cards with the answers of either 2 or 3.
The student does not want to go to an area where the 2's and 3's are
taken:
-
When a student is collecting
additional cards, these cards are put below his/her Flip-Card Board.
Matching area cards are placed in a column.
-
When all students reach the treasure
chest, the winner of the game is the student with the 6 different
MAGIC ISLAND SEARCH key cards plus:
a. The first students to
reach the treasure chest with all digits on his/her Flip-Card Board
turned over.
b. If no student has all of his/her
digits turned over; it is the person who reaches the treasure chest
with the most digits turned over,
c. If there is a tie in digits turned
over, it is the first person to reach the treasure chest.
*Exception to Game. In rare
instances, a student may not be able to obtain a 6th MAGIC ISLAND SEARCH
key card because all cards are taken. If this happens, when the
student reaches the area without cards, he/she may take the MAGIC ISLAND
SEARCH card from a student who has two. However, the student must
add the number answer of the card to his/her Flip-Card Board, the
student now has 4 digits left.
