Age of Exploration Simulation
Find the GOLD!
You have been chosen….
• Today you and your team of explorers will represent your country in a quest for treasure!!!!
• Somewhere in the room is treasure and it is your job to find it.
• Once you find it, it is your decision on whether to keep it or bring it back to your country…. YOU DECIDE!!!

Spain – 3 Explorers
Portugal – 2 Explorers

How the Search for GOLD will work
Brainstorm: Appropriate behavior while searching the world (aka the room)
for gold ???
How the Search for GOLD will work
Before explorers are sent out, “Countries” must first make a written
plan/strategy.
How the Search for GOLD will work
Explorers are only allowed to look for
treasure in ONE PLACE at a time, reporting back
to the “Country”, then receiving permission
from the KING (aka Mr. Berlanda) to explore
again.
How the Search for GOLD will work
When the “treasure” is discovered, the explorer may return it to his/her “Country” where it will
be evently divided & shared.
Now that our quest is done.
