Tribes Each class will be split into several tribes of 4 to 6 students. Tribes will work together during the immunity and reward challenges to earn points or rewards. Inappropriate behavior or disruptive behavior will result in a loss of points or the elimination of the tribe from the competition. Tribes will be assigned a Totem Pole to hold your points and will create their own name. Let’s get started ... Create a tribe name, make a name card, add your name to the back of the table sign and Design your totem pole!

Reward Challenges Challenges will relate to a wide range of topics. Tribes will earn rewards for their efforts, such as locker passes, candy, soda, treasure chest items, and more! The tribe with the highest score will earn the reward and a bonus of 10 points for their team’s score. Reward points cannot be lost at the next Tribal Council.

Immunity Challenges Immunity challenges will relate to water or the ocean. The theme of each challenge will be revealed in each Survivor Tree Mail announcement. Tribes will earn points based on the their answers to the Immunity Challenge questions. Each one will be different. The tribe with the highest score earns immunity and will wear an immunity necklace until the next immunity challenge. Tribes can lose points for bad behavior or failure to return immunity necklaces! The tribe with the highest score will earn immunity, which means they cannot lose those points at the next Tribal Council.

Tribal Council The winner of an immunity challenge will be announced at the start of the next class and tribal council will be held. All tribes will vote for one tribe to lose the points that were earned on the last immunity challenge. Each tribe will have only one vote during each tribal council. Tribal Council Music

Survivor Rules Good sportsmanship is expected at all times. The teacher’s decision is final! Play fair! Cheating and dishonest behavior will result in a loss of points or possible elimination from the game. Alliances are ok, but be careful that they don’t hurt you in the long run! Survivor Prize Package The top scoring team from each class will win a class award and be entered into a drawing for a super duper Survivor Prize Package!
