Homebase FUN!

Have you seen the new game show "Minute to Win It"? It's great!!!! We will be doing a version of it during our Homebase time. Homebases will be competing against another Homebase. The first Homebase to complete the task will be claimed the winner. The games are simple but difficult to complete. It should be pretty fun for our sixth graders. Here are the games we will be trying. Check out the website and view some of the funny videos!
