The fate of the United States is in your hands. Your classmates created a time machine and travelled back in time to witness the signing of the Constitution. But in doing so you have caused a wrinkle in time and instead of witnessing the famous document being approved by the states, the signers names are slowly disappearing off the document. Whatever changed in the time continuum can only be fixed if you can get back to the present before the last signer\u2019s name disappears from the Constitution. The pilot of the time machine doesn\u2019t want to leave before she witnesses history so she locked the microchip needed to fly the time machine in the box and will not listen to your pleas that something is wrong. At the rate the names have been disappearing you have 40 minutes to get the box unlocked and return to the present or our Constitution, the very foundation of our nation will be lost forever. <\/p>","instructions":"
1. Print all documents and set the locks as indicated above. The signers of the Constitution clues should be printed on legal sized paper. These will be hung on a wall or chalkboard. (if playing the game with more than one team it is suggested that a print of the signers painting, labelled painting, and names with the map be printed for each group.) The Bill of Rights sheet can be printed double sided or stapled so that they stay together. Cut apart the two Bill of Rights Math sheets and the \u201c#s\u201d clues.
2. Put the Bill of Rights math sheets with the UV flashlight in the small box and lock with the three digit lock. All documents can be spread throughout the class for the students to \u201cfind.\" To save time you can also give them to the group in a folder so there is no time wasted finding the documents.
3. The large box is locked with the hasp, key lock, directional lock, word lock, and 4 digit lock. Inside the box you can put \u201cwe broke out\u201d signs and reflection or 4C cards
4. The key needs to be hidden near or taped to your classroom U. S. Flag.
5. Use the invisible ink to write \u201clocation, location, location\u201d on the front of one of the Signers papers as an added hint for that puzzle. Also write \u201cI pledge allegiance to\u201d on the outline of the Constitution. This will lead them to the key by the flag after they get the small box with the 3 digit lock open.
6. Hang the Signers of the Constitution painting on a wall with the labelled \u201cpainting\u201d next to it. The third page (names with map) can be hung with these as well or put with the other documents if you want the students to have to make the connection with the list of names, map, and the painting.<\/p>","videoEmbed":"
