Gifted Standard Activity: Plan a Competition!
Part of the Cubism Unit is to host a Rubik’s Cube Competition as a Target class for 4th and 5th grade students who try-out and want to compete. Planning a competition takes a lot of thinking! Since we can not plan a competition at Davis for Solving the Rubik’s Cube, let’s see if you can plan your own competition! Think of something you and your family could compete in. Maybe it’s to be the winner of an obstacle course you create, who can stack the most plastic cups without their cups falling, a hula hoop contest, or a scavenger hunt! You can really make a competition out of most anything. Here’s what you will need to do:
1. Decide what kind of competition you will host and ask permission from your parents to do so.
2. Decide who will
compete. Will your family compete individually, in pairs, or teams? You can include neighbors if you have a safe
way do so like outside and with social distancing. You will not compete. You will be the judge of the competition.
3. Plan the day,
time, and location of the competition.4. Create a poster (can be created on any size piece of paper) advertising your event with all the above information.
5. Hang your poster in a visible location.
6. Make a public announcement at your dinner table or in another appropriate way about the competition. Ask for people to commit to the event.
7. Conduct try-outs if needed.
8. Decide how you will judge and who will win. Will you have only a first place winner? Or will you have second and third place, too. What will your prize or prizes be?
9. On the day of the competition, set-up your area for the competition. Don’t forget to plan where people will sit. Have an area where the prizes will be kept.
10. Before the competition, tell your participants the rules of the competition. Be clear. Discuss good sportsmanship. If other than family are involved in an outdoor competition, explain how everyone will practice safety.
11. Carry out the competition. You will judge who wins.
12. Conduct an awards ceremony to recognize the winners.
Have fun! Take a picture to share if you are able to. You can complete this activity by May 13th. (communication, divergent thinking, self-directed learner, evaluative thinking)
