Signature Game

As I mentioned in a previous post, one of our favorite games to do on a road trip is the Signature Scavenger Hunt. The kids are given a sheet with a short explanation of the game and spaces for signatures. The kids are to collect as many signatures as they can and the signatures are given points based on who they are from. For example, police officers, whom we hopefully won't see as much, would be worth 10 points where as Dunkin' Donuts employees would be worth 2 points since Mom needs her iced coffee on an hourly basis.

So the results of this trip's Signature Scavenger Hunt are as follows:

Winner based on points: Princess Git Er Done
W. Bear was actually in the lead when Git Er Done saw a bunch of cadets from the local military academy getting lunch. She also scored the bonus points for the signature of a Rhode Islander obtained outside of New England.

Winner based on sheer volume: W. Bear
Dude was relentless in playing this game. Anyone who could hold a writing implement was asked to sign his paper. Alas it was not enough to compensate for Git Er Done's military score.

Winner based on sportsmanship: Tater
Things got a little touchy between the older kids as they accused one another of underhanded practises. Tater however just kept plugging along, being his charming self.

Winner based on thinking outside the box: Princess Buttercup.
Not only did she collect signatures, she sought out people she thought would add an interesting angle to her sheet. She also kept track of who the people were who signed. By this I mean: "this was the captain of the ferry at Disney!" "this was the cashier at Pez Museum!" "this was the cashier at Peach World!"

Winner based on family motto: Baby
The Kerr family motto is "Sero sed serio" which is Latin for "late but in earnest." A little lacking as far as rousing battle cries, but I didn't think it up. Anyway, Baby didn't really give the game much thought until about three days before we got back. But when he got on it, he gave it his best shot.

Winner in his own mind: Gummi
Didn't even try this, but still thinks he's awesome.
