Damian and Brooke each collected four rocks this resulted in a tie. The team with the most gold rocks in their bucket at the end of one minute won. Then they tossed them in their buckets and gone back for more. Then they gathered as many as the gold rocks as they can in their arms and then pushed them back through their sides. When Kirk gave the signal, they plowed through their tunnels and made their ways to the end. And in that game, the teams mined with just their arms and legs. In gold rush days, when people went mining, they used pickaxes, shovels, and ropes. The Silver Snakes are twelve-year-old Brooke and eleven-year-old Perry. The Blue Barracudas are thirteen-year-olds Jennifer and Damian.
Silver Snakes (Correct - Advanced to the Temple Games) Which of these is the most basic way to get gold from a river? Which of these was the location of a second American gold rush that took place in the 1800s? Which of these words is a term for a gold strike? Red Jaguars (California - Wrong Answer Not one of the three choices)īlue Barracudas (Correct - Advanced to the Temple Games)
Which of these was eventually cut through Panama to speed up ocean travel? Instead of sailing around South America, did some 49ers…? Which of these deserts did some prospectors cross to join in the Gold Rush?īlue Barracudas (Correct - One step left) Were the miners who went to California called…? Which of these cities was founded as a result of the Gold Rush?īlue Barracudas (Correct - Two steps left) To get to California, did some prospectors have to travel around…? Purple Parrots (Correct - Two steps left) Unfortunately, John Sutter, the man who started it all, died penniless because he'd lost the secret map to his mine. Some went by wagon train through Indian territory and Death Valley. Others took a shorter route through Panama, battling their way overland through swamps and jungle, and over the mountains to Panama City where they hopped a ship to California.
Their food was filled with bugs, and their ships were often wrecked in terrible storms. Some went around South America in creaky old ships. Within nine months, over ten thousand other prospectors came to California from all over the world to pan for gold. Long ago, on a river in Northern California, the owner of a mill saw something shiny in the water, and when he picked it up, saw that it was pure gold. When the second teammate reached the other side, it was his job to hit the gong. That was the signal for the second partner to pull the footboard back to the other side, jump on, grab the rope, swing the footboard into the water, and pull themselves across the Moat. Once across, they climbed out onto the other side. When Kirk said go, the first partner of each team paddled across the moat. One partner from each team had an "Aztec footboard".
