Activity Instructions

Divide the class into 2 teams. One student from Team A begins at the bottom of column 1 (โ€œMayโ€), and one student from Team B starts at the bottom of column 10 (โ€œFindโ€). On the signal to start, both students begin walking up their columns, saying each word as they step on it. Teammates may โ€œcoachโ€ the student so the game goes faster. The student that reaches the top first earns a point for his/her team. Take 2 new students and assign them to columns 2 and 9. Continue until all columns have been covered. The team with the most points wins.
