Leg 1 - Amazing Race

For the first leg we went to Fort Matanzas. http://www.nps.gov/foma/index.htm

It is a national monument and already has a scavenger hunt you can get online or the Junior Ranger Program which can be picked up at the park. I will post the clues we used once my husband teaches me how to put them on our server.
So the children got to choose between a Short Game or the Long Name – the printable scavenger hunt http://www.nps.gov/foma/forteachers/upload/Scavenger.pdf or the Junior Ranger Program.
After the task, the children that chose Long Name were sworn in as a Jr. Ranger and given a badge and their next clue.

The next clue was a roadblock – the whole team had to run a lap around the park and then choose who was hungry after a jog. It was hilarious – here they thought they would have a delightful feast – instead they had to choke down baby food – vegetables only!!! Some of the kids had a really hard time and others simply would NOT do it!

Here is the link for the first route info which I emailed to everyone. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B2g_3IEt9IyPNGM1YTAxNjYtYWM2YS00ZWM1LWJhZTEtMjZiNWQzNjczNWYz&hl=en_US
