Leg 2 - Amazing Race

To start the next leg – we led the children to Domino’s in a strip mall. Once there they found the clue box which led them to the Latino Market where the owner would teach them to sing Happy Birthday in Spanish. It was awesome!! The owner was super accomodating and the kids had a blast. Once they sang it to the owner’s liking, he gave them the next clue.
The second clue had three parts:
count the number of signs that say “Ace” when standing outside the store
count the number of PO boxes in a shipping store
add those numbers to the total of each size of Domino’s pizza.
The older group had find the radius of the four sizes of pizza and the younger kids the diameter.
If there total was correct (or in this case close to correct) the manager would give them their next clue.
One note – we got permission from each of the store owners ahead of time. If any sounded leary we just offered for one team member to go in and ONLY ONE team was allowed in the store at one time. That way only one child would be in their establishment at one time.
This clue led them to a local park where each member had to complete an obstacle course.
