Crestline Destination Imagination places in state tournament

Crestline’s fourth grade PAGE students participated in Destination Imagination’s state tournament in Huntsville in April.

Destination Imagination is a national program that encourages teamwork, creativity and problem solving—crucial skills for today’s world.

The Spartan Protégé’s team chose the improvisation challenge titled “Change in RealiTee.” Students were told that a dramatic change had taken place and then had to create a skit to show how people were dealing with the change. 

Students were required to select and research six communication technique, and then use eight plain white T-shirts and 16 markers to create costumes, sets and props. They placed second place in the state in their challenge. 

Destruction, Incorporated had a challenge to build a structure weighing less than 175 grams that could hold weight and withstand forceful twists; write and present a skit that portrays a plot twist; create a prop using the same materials as the structure; and perform the skit and place weights upon the structure within 8 minutes.

Their skit centered around a group of kids who twisted someone’s fate by giving him a fake lottery ticket bought at Lucky Larry’s gas station. Their structure held 235 pounds and withstood 6 twists.  They placed first in the state among their age group.
