The Story So Far…The whole family is excited because you’re all off on

holiday in the morning. The suitcases are packed, everything in the house is switched off ready to go!

Now all that’s left to do is to get some sleep ready for the journey...

3am...Your alarm goes off and you jump out of bed with

excitement, you can’t wait to get dressed and leave the house. Your little sister is just as excited as you. When

the taxi arrives your dad does a last check inside to make sure everything is off and locked up and...

YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY!

week and no one has come to save you. Do you…

b) Try to put the plane back togetherc) Start collecting wood and start building a

bonfire for smoke signals

If you chose…a) You aren’t very realistic in your outlook. Surely if

no-one has come by now, then maybe its time to do something for yourself.

b) You have attempted to come with an idea. Although it was a nice gesture, perhaps you are too over ambitious. Try to stick to things that are accomplishable.

c) You have come up with a great idea! Making a fire is probably the most realistic thing to do, and will give you and the rest of the camp hope. Make sure you don’t always go off by yourself, get other people involved!

an entire week so that the smoke signal wont burn out. People have started telling you to stop because there is no hope for any of you.

whilst waiting for them.

You gave up all hope. You died!
