Class Experience

Students will be assigned to two teams and compete against each other as we explore Canada, coast to coast in this Amazing Race-inspired game play.  We'll face roadblocks like building our own totems, challenge each other in the "Rocks, Trees and Water" face off and race to complete our own version of the Yukon Goldrush as we travel through the five regions of Canada.  

Stops will include:
- Western provinces
- Prairie provinces
- Central Provinces
- Atlantic provinces
- Northern Territories

We'll look at geography, currency, iconic foods, landforms and quirky Canadian facts as we face challenges, games and competitions in this race across the country and determine which team wins this season of Amazing Race: Canadian edition.

Learning Goals

Students will be introduced to 
- Canadian provinces and territories
- currency
- regions and landforms
- iconic foods and quirky customs
- "Canadianisms"and phrases from our two official languages

Other Details

Supply List
Please note, your student will be required to have their video on throughout class as many of the challenges are visual in nature.

Your student will be assigned to the red or white team before class begins.  Ideally, have your student wear that color on-screen (shirt, hat or scarf) to help us see who is on each team!  

Students will be asked to find and use random objects around the house.  It is better if these are not prepared in advance, as no SPECIFIC item is needed, just a lot of imagination!  (For example, the student might be asked to find something red in 45 seconds, or make a pattern with whatever items are on hand).  Be prepared to be active, think on your feet and be creative!

Please have a paper and pen on hand... and get ready to RACE!

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm a Canadian, born and raised, and have lived in three different provinces.  Living overseas for a number of years also helped me differentiate what I thought of as normal from truly Canadian.  I love my country and am excited to share it with the world!
