THE THANG: 1764-1789 Trivia
Station 1: Q: We all know “Taxation without representation”, name at least 3 taxes that were levied on the colonies between 1764-1775. A: Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Townshend Act, Tea Act
W Partner: 342 Step ups/Dips total while partner runs around the silo to represent the 342 boxes of tea dumped into the Boston Harbor during the Boston Tea Party.
Q2: G-Dub was disgusted by MassHoles, but after Henry Knox took cannons from Ft Ticonderoga and brought them to Boston and they were secretly brought to Dorchester Heights (6 blocks from where I grew up), the Colonial Army forced the British to evacuate Boston in spring 1776. On what day, appropriate for Boston, does the city celebrate Evacuation Day with City Offices closed?
A: March 17 Partner up, carry your partner up the hill.
Q3: The Declaration of Independence was voted for on July 2 by the Second Continental Congress, leading John Adams to write to Abigail, “. “The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival.”
While only John Hancock had signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, who was the oldest signer and how old was he?
A: Benjamin Franklin, 70 years old
Right answer: 13 “Bolts” (for his lightning bolt experience)–>13 half quats (top), 13 half squats (bottom), 13 full squats, 13 full squat tuck jumps (like Usain Bolts) Wrong answer: 70 Monkey Humpers because Benny Boy loved the ladies
Station 4:
Q: In a desperate “Victory or Death” gamble, Washington marched his freezing, ragtag army to the banks of the Delaware River on Christmas night. In the middle of a brutal nor’easter blizzard—with ice floes smashing against their wooden Durham boats—they crossed the river in pitch darkness and marched 9 miles through the snow to catch the elite Hessian garrison completely by surprise, leaving a trail of blood. While we are familiar with Washington crossing the Delaware, during which battle did this occur?
A: Battle of Trenton
Wrong answer: get barefoot, ice skaters from the foul pole to the outfield fence. Mosey back. Sprints (increasing in percentage from (19%, 50%, 64%, 76%, 89%, 100%, 180% representing years associated with key revolutionary activities).
MARY: – American Hammers: 76 reps IC (Finish out the year) – Big Boy Sit-Ups: 56 reps OYO (Shared with a partner—28 reps each to honor the 56 signers) – The 1789 Constitutional Plank: Hold a low forearm plank for exactly 89 seconds.
