Wiki-Races are a fun and educational game where you start on one Wikipedia page and race to another by only clicking on blue links. It challenges your ability to connect seemingly unrelated topics, explore links, and think critically about how different ideas are connected. In this game, you’ll play by starting with one topic and trying to make your way to another—by only clicking blue links. It's a race against time and a chance to learn about how information is all connected in the world of Wikipedia!

Your Task:

🚀 Pair Up: Find a partner for this challenge.

🧐 Choose Your Topics: Agree on two seemingly unrelated topics (e.g., "Penguins" and "Jeep").

⚡ Start the Race: Begin on the Wikipedia page for the first topic.

🔗 Click and Connect: You can only click on blue links to reach the second topic.

🏁 Finish the Race: The first person to reach the second topic wins!

📝 Reflection: After the race, each player will:

1. Write down how many clicks it took to reach the second topic.

2. Record how long it took to complete the race.

3. Come up with one real-world lesson they learned from this experience (e.g., the importance of making connections, the way information is structured, or how things we think are unrelated actually connect).

Ready, set, race! Can you connect the dots and make it to the finish line first?
