Track your progress using missions, earn points based on how many missions you complete, and see how you stack up to other students in four age brackets. At the end of the challenge, redeem your points for prizes! The challenge runs from March 4 – April 29, 2024. See how many points you can get!
And There are Prizes?
That’s right! There will be weekly prize drawings each week for all 8 weeks of the challenge. Everyone who completes at least 1 mission during the week is eligible for that week’s drawing. The winner of each drawing will win an Amazon Fire Tablet!
Teaching With the Learn Everywhere Challenge
Educators can compete in the challenge with their class, or use our missions as teaching activities. Educators that fill out our sign up form will receive a teaching kit with mission tracker booklets and more!
How it Works
Adults sign up for one of four experiences based on the age of their participating students. Every week starting on March 4, new missions will appear to encourage students to keep learning and earning points. Missions never expire, so it’s easy to catch up no matter when you join. Each experience will have different video and activity missions built around MLC series, with bonus missions for more points and more fun!
Weekly Mission Types
Each week, students will be tasked with four different kinds of missions that encourage them to learn everywhere!
Core Missions
Reading and literacy-themed missions with print activities.
Place Missions
Missions that get your students outside and into museums, libraries, and more!
Calendar Missions
Missions all about cool events that take place during fall and winter.
Bonus Missions
Discussion questions and mini activities that your students can try anywhere!
How to Join
There are two ways to participate in the Learn Everywhere Challenge. You can join by downloading the Goosechase app and competing in real time, or by playing offline using our printable missions tracker. Players using the print version will submit their points totals at the end of the challenge. Follow the instructions below to compete using the app.
Decide How to Compete
- Students can compete as individuals by having the account owner (a parent or teacher) join the experience(s) corresponding to their student’s grade(s). This works best for families with participating students in different grade brackets.
- Classrooms, Organizations, and families with multiple children in the same grade bracket can play as a team. The account owner can join the experience(s) corresponding to their students’ grades and use their discretion when to mark missions complete. For families, we recommend requiring all students in an age bracket to complete the mission before checking it off. For large groups, we suggest only requiring a simple majority.
