Check out this blog post about setting up a scavenger hunt in your classroom!

Research shows a link between movement and learning...

…so why not take something students think is boring (reading nonfiction passages) and make it more engaging!

Who said you can only work on reading comprehension from your desk?!?

If you’re sitting there right now thinking, Gee Marianna, that sounds great, but…

  • I don’t have time to create new activities for my students
  • I’m not sure how to develop a movement-based reading lesson
  • I’m worried my students won’t take the activity seriously

I have great news for you!

My students loved the first scavenger hunt I created for them so much that I decided to share it with teachers all over the world on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Since then, I have been inundated with requests to make more scavenger hunts. I’m excited to announce Monthly Scavenger Hunt Growing Bundle is now live!

Here's What's You Get:

  • One Scavenger Hunt Per Month (with a possibility of more in the future!)
  • Color and Black and White Fact Cards
  • Recording Sheets (3 Options Per Activity)
  • Answer Keys for Each Resource

3 Ways to Play

Just like the free Animal Adaptations Scavenger Hunt you downloaded, there are 3 different ways to play each Scavenger Hunt:

  • Traditional (hunt for facts and answer questions)
  • Vocabulary (look for the underlined word and use vocabulary strategies to determine the answer)
  • Synthesize (use information from all the cards to answer higher-order thinking questions)

 

Here’s what teachers just like you have said about these activities:

My students had so much fun with this Valentine's Day Scavenger Hunt. They learned new things about Valentine's Day, practiced writing complete sentences, and it went along with a fun theme!
Jennifer L.
My students love this activity every year! It never gets old and they LOVE learning new and fun facts about Valentine's Day!
Elizabeth C.
This was so much fun! My students really enjoyed it and learned too. This is a fun but instructional activity that can be used in many different ways.
Debbie B.

Hi! I'm Marianna

I’m a lifelong educator who helps busy teachers stay passionate about providing engaging, standards-based lessons to their students.

I created these scavenger hunts because I’m passionate about increasing student engagement in simple, easy-to-implement ways that will work for a variety of students.

All of my products draw on my 20 years of experience as a K-5 teacher, instructional coach, and private tutor. I’ve worked in all types of environments with all kinds of kids…and I strive to make resources that can be used to make any child a better reader and thinker.

I’m also a huge fan of reading, hockey (Go Panthers!), Bravo TV, Game of Thrones, and any and all doggos. My dog Leo and I enjoy taking walks at the many parks near our house!
