Before you start:

The following list includes certain challenges that may be uncomfortable for some team members. If there is one person
who doesn’t feel secure about the challenge, YOU MUST NOT force that person to participate; and as good friends (since
this game is primarily to create stronger friendship bonds), the team may choose another challenge that makes ALL
team members happy (or at least gives them a good laugh!).

Remember:

 Challenges involving kids must be consulted previously with his/her parents.

 Strangers can be dangerous, as it has been always. Be really careful with whom you choose to participate in
the challenge… Always ask for permission if you’re going to take a photo.
 If you have to cross an avenue/street, always look on both sides before crossing!
 Be respectful to strangers.
 Don’t do anything that would make your mom mad, please.
 Probity should be applied to your whole life, not only to TdM. This is, NO CHEATING!

Now, respecting to the list itself:

You’ll have to write a checkmark on each of the challenges completed. In the lines provided below, you may write the
number of challenges you have completed (this to make a recount of points at the end).

All evidence must be brought back to the meeting point at the exact hour that was accorded, if not, the whole team will
be disqualified.

Meeting point: ___________________________________________________________________________

Accorded hour: _____________ (15 minutes of tolerance)
