don't let players work together unless they are tied together
each station has two columns of words
find the starting word on the left hand column and look across to the right hand one for the next one to find
as the player finds words they make a list
when they get to FINISH they run back to the leader in charge who will check them
Discuss the words they find in roughly order and why they are on the list. (legend, history, patron saints of.. and characteristics)
