Dear Ranger-in-Training, Congratulations on completing your first challenges! But your job isn't done yet. One of the tools we use as park rangers are trading cards. Maybe you've seen a trading card - it fits in your pocket and usually it has a picture on one side and words on the other. Look at the pictures below. Pretty cool, right? ![]()
I use trading cards to tell stories. See the picture of George Washington on that white horse? The horse's name was Blueskin and he was General Washington's second favorite horse. His first favorite horse was named Nelson. Nelson was very steady in battle. Blueskin - not so much. But, Blueskin looked good in the picture. Now it is your turn to make something you can use to tell a few stories about the Liberty Bell. And, it's time to finish the Junior Ranger Challenge training program.
