I Spy and Scavenger Hunt Sets
Children learn by exploring the world around them. This list of scavenger hunts helps teachers encourage observation and exploration of a variety of themes and subjects all year long. Every hunt has room for differentiation, so you can adjust for older kids or special needs.
Important skills learned while searching items and solving clues will readily transfer to other academic areas, like reading and math! I know I’ve even enjoyed an adult scavenger hunt before!
Teach your students how to play a scavenger hunt early in the year! Then you can plan one for every theme! And don’t be surprised when they start planning one for their birthday party!
