ScavengerHunt

=Scavenger Hunts= This page is for posting scavenger hunts that people have written to help students learn to find books in their libraries. I suggest that we reserve this page for links to Scavenger Hunts.

This first example is from   Heidi Steigerwald.

The materials I use are specific to the books I have in my library. I have attached all the documents that I use. First you need to pick books that don’t get checked out much so you can put them aside and fill them with the clues. I included my clues and answers as an example since I am sure you will have different books in your collection. Then I also included my master sheet which had the specific books with the clues that go in each for a quick set up. I usually print the clues out on labels, stick them on index cards, and laminate them. I also included my document with the animal group labels so each card gets a sticker with the animal grouping label on one side and then the clue on the other side. The hardest part is figuring out the matrix of sending kids to various books and not getting jammed up and making sure that the clues are spread out amongst enough books for a class of 27 or 28.
