Scavenger Hunts

Hello!!!!

I am a big time crafter when it comes to making things, cards and scrapbooking, but due to being so busy with work, I have to rely on my favorite website.  teacherspayteachers When I'm on that website, I don't always find what I am looking for, but you can put out a request of what you want and see if another person has something similar or you can work out a deal and they make it for you.  I have been working with an awesome lady that has been making my scavenger hunts.  Her name is Jen Stamm.  It started out with...ummm...I guess I really don't know anymore, because she has made so many awesome scavenger hunts for me that I own then all and continue to buy as she makes more. She is now making candy land games and we played one yesterday for the first time and the kids just loved that!  I will post that in another post.  If I were you and what learning games and fun games to head over to her page.  Here is the link Jen Stamm  

This is how I do it in my classroom, on Thursday's I set up the scavenger hunts and determine which ones the students will do.  Some of the scavenger hunts are harder then others, do I pick which ones will work with the different students.  I did make an excel sheet, so I do know what student has already done that scavenger hunt.  Below are some pictures to see some of the action.  Did I mention how much my student's love these?  They are always begging to do it more then just once a week.

I set it up right away in the morning and it just so happened that one of the student's was absent.  HEHE so I got the other special education teacher hunting for the cards.  :-)

Happy Learning!

Math Scavenger Hunt

I'm always looking for new ways to get my students up and moving around the classroom. I have found that the more you get the students up and having fun, the more they seem to learn. I'm a huge supporter of teacherspayteachers.com (my husband would agree). They have awesome things that are free and for a small price. We have been working on money and came across this awesome scavenger hunt. There are different sets of cards that are different colors. Each set has 6 cards along with a riddle sheet. I hide them around the room and then give each student a set of cards to go serach for. Once they have all their cards, they bring them back to the table and with this one it was a money one. They start to count the change on the card and then find that amount on the sheet. On each card, there is a word that is part of the riddle. They write that word under the amount. Once they are done, it will answer the riddle. The students sure get a kick out of the riddle and the answers.

She loves to have her picture taken! LOL

Working hard!
