Notes:
You can make the tasks as easy or complicated as needed. It is better to keep them approximately the same level of time to complete or have extras in case of a traffic jam at one monster.
Instructions:
Patrols are sent out to complete different tasks and find all the monsters.
Once all the Monsters are ready, give each patrol leader their patrol's card. Each patrol should be started out looking for a different monster.
When a monster is found, the patrol asks him what monster he is. If he is the one they are looking for, then they must perform his required task. When completed, he marks their card and they go looking for the monster he reads off his card.
The winning patrol is the one that completes the most tasks in a given time.
On each monster's card, print one of these lines:
4 ropes and 2 poles for Frankenstein.
2 compasses for Wolfman.
Godzilla - at least 3 ways to start a fire - flint/steel, steel wool and battery, magnesium.
Dracula - two poles and a blanket.
