Scavenger Hunt

Orange Sign

Scavenger hunts are an excellent way for students to work together and have fun while learning. A scavenger hunt can be used for nearly any subject and they are easy to create. All you have to do is think of a subject. I recently participated in a scavenger hunt of colors so I will use that as an example. Once you have a subject you can compile a list of items you want your students to find. My scavenger hunt listed 10 different colors. Next, make sure you create specific instructions for your students. The scavenger I went on asked us to find 10 items that were the colors listed. We then had to take a picture of the items we found. After we found our items we uploaded our photos to a computer. Once your scavenger hunt photos are uploaded they can be shared with the rest of the class through google presentation.

I think this activity is great for the classroom because it breaks the norm of daily work. Your students will be excited to get out of the classroom and explore. They may not even realize that they are learning while they hunt the school. Here are more pictures from my color scavenger hunt.
