Global Kids' Digital Media Initiative

Reported by GK Volunteer - Mat Brocco

Here on Global Kids Island, the second event for the Global Kids Anniversary Celebration took place today. It was the scavenger hunt that requires contestants to explore all of Global kids island.

As explained to me by Rafi Gkid who was the event host, both blue and green recycling containers had been spread out throughout the entire island. There were exactly 15 containers hidden around GK Island, each of the containers when clicked represented a pop up which had a question about the environment. If a person had guessed the correct answer, they were rewarded with one point, and whoever had the most points at the end of the game wins.

For the first round many residents of the Teen grid scattered about the island to find the blue and green bins, for their chance to answer a question and score a point. As time went by, the first round came to an end and weall gathered up by the scoreboard. At the end of the first round the winner was Trextron Sukra, who was rewarded 50 Linden dollars.

Check out a pic from right before the end of the first round:

After the first round came to an end, Rafi counted down again as another round of the scavenger hunt began. Teen residents buzzed overhead, flying about the island, finding the blue and green bins, and answering educational questions for points.

Here are some of the bins that were scattered around the island:

When time was up, Rafi then again had all participants meet up by the score board. Once everyone had gathered around, Rafi announced that Jase Cao was the second and final winner of the day, who was also rewarded 50 Linden dollars.

After an afternoon of games, everyone on the island was called to the dance floor for the second half of the fun event planned for the day. People on the island danced as nik385 the party DJ had played songs requested by the teens. As the event came to an end the last few request of songs were played, and people started to get ready to go. Some residents stuck around for a few rounds of "Word Spill" as others had gone to other parts of TSL or had logged off.

Everybody at the event seemed to have a great time playing games, answering questions, and dancing at the dance party. A great second day of events on Global Kids island, and hopefully everybody can make it tomorrow for another great day of events to celebrate Global Kids one year in Teen Second Life.
