The Wiki Game

In this game you are given a topic and a word you need to find. Then you are sent to a Wikipedia page and what you need to do is find the word in one of the links and thats not as easy as it sounds because on the page there are lots and lots of links that you can look at.
  
Tip: Think outside the box because the word might be gold and the topic could be the U.S.A so you could look at the gold rush of California.

I don't know what happens when you find the word because I have never found it.

Click Card System

My school has come up with a rewards system for the students called click cards. A click card is a card that has 40 squares around the boarder. The rules are that if you are away you do not get a click and if your name is on the board and there is a cross next to it that means you do not get a click, but if your name is on on the board without a cross that means you still get a click on the card.
The rewards: If you have clicked all 40 boxes that means you get a rimu wrist band. If you finish 3 cards you get a badge.

Stars cards:
Star cards are another rewards system where teachers can give you a card that you put your name and room number then you put the card in your house box at the library. First 2 names are drawn at hui for a small prize then at end of term with 1 person from each wins a S.T.A.R.S hoodie then at the end of the year 1 person is drawn out of the whole school and you win a bike.
