It is not just only important how fast you do the test and to be the first arriving to the finish line, is even more important to do the tests as good as possible (as long as we will score every test from 0 to 2)

The aim of the gymkhana is to know the heart of the city and some of historical traces. We Intend that you pupils will ve able to know some of the most emblematic places of the Gothic Barcelona through time (from Rome up to the current time).

Instructions You will have to accomplish some task in groups, in which there will be representatives of at least three countries.

We want you to work in teams therefore you will take the roles and so you will make agreements (assign the one who acts of spokesman, who is going to be the leader…), but there is no need to say that the roles can also be changeable.

Starting point: In the center of Plaza Catalunya

1. Every team should develop a colored team icon using a cardboard, one scissors and a piece of string in 5 minutes time.

2. All the team

members will be wearing the same icon. So you must create your team icon and do that before departure time.

3. Therefore you need to coordinate (divide the string proportionally distribute the task…)
