I Claim It!

Claim

This is a fun game that can involve everyone in the car. Before the game begins, everyone agrees on a list of animals or other sites that are likely to be seen often on the stretch of road you are traveling. You all then agree on the number of points each animal (or object) that is sighted will be worth. You then determine how long the game will run.

Everyone watches out for the items. Each time a person sees one of the animals or objects they try to be the first to claim it. Once it is claimed that person gets the points for that specific animal/object.

For example, you may choose cows to have 2 pts, birds to have 1 point, and horses to have 5 points. If Ben sites a heard of 20 cows they quickly claim it and they get 40 points. No one else can claim that herd of cows.

Use the following grid to design your score key:
