=The Grand Adventure= Great Grandma Grover was a world traveler. She and her favorite bike PINKIE explored countries around the global. Grandma carried her bright green backpack where ever she went.

When she died, she left her only great grandchild her beloved bike and backpack. When the backpack was opened, currency from around the world came tumbling out along with lists, photos, and other strange stuff.

Since it's summer vacation, Pinkie the Bike and I are ready to jump on a plane for a GRAND adventure in honor of my GRANDma. Unfortunately, I don't know where I'm going. Can you help?

In this game, you'll begin with Mission 1. Then, you'll be rolling the dice to determine each subsequent mission. When each mission is complete, you'll receive an item you'll need for your journey such as a bike helmet, googles, gloves, or suntan lotion. When you've collected all seven items, you're ready for your journey. The Travel Agent will keep track of your items on the Score Card.

The Bike Bump
Opps, we have a slight problem with our game. Only one of the missions is finished and ready for you to complete. I need your help in creating the rest of the missions before we can play the game. You must choose one aspect of Google that can be explored to answer a question, find information, or solve a problem. For instance, you might use Google Maps to find a location or Google Hotels to find a room. Or, you might ask students to check the value of currency or translate a passage.

Your mission must begin with an artifact (such as currency), photo (such as an historical photo, photo of a person, photo of location), document (such as a note in a foreign language, a note with missing information, a note expressing a problem), or some other element to jumpstart the exploration. Your mission should end with a specific conclusion that can be evaluated. It doesn't need to be a single answer. Each group should enter their mission onto their mission page and create a link below. Then, we'll play the game!

The Missions
Begin by exploring Mission 1. When you've completed this mission, you're ready to create your own.

Mission 1 Mission 2 Mission 3 Mission 4 Mission 5 Mission 6 Mission 7
