36 Library Scavenger Hunt Task Cards

This pack includes 36 scavenger hunt cards and a printable answer sheet allowing students to record up to twelve answers.

This is a great way to introduce/remind students of the different parts of the library. You may also wish to do this as a challenge, having one student choose a card and find the book - record how long it took them, and make this the “time to beat” for following visits.

A simple but effective activity that gets students engaged in locating information within their library.

How to use:

* Print, laminate and cut each card.

* You have the option of having students write their answers on the printable (included), a mini whiteboard, having them physically bring the book to you OR if you have the technology, use tablets/smartphones and have students take pictures of their answers.

* A activity came be done as individuals, pairs or teams (no more than three is my recommendation)

I designed this set with the library in mind but you can easily use this in your classroom.

The purpose of this scavenger hunt is to familiarize/support students in using text clues to determine the subject of a book.

How to use:

* Print, laminate and cut each card.. You will need a pile of picture books and a selection of nonfiction books. Make sure you have books that will answer each of the task cards, and some extras that don’t match any. You may also wish to select books that could meet the requirement of more than one task card.

What others are saying:

• Thanks for providing these - students felt like detectives! (Leeann Denham's Library)
• Great idea! Love your library ideas! (Keep 'em coming!) TY!!! (Sunshine Sprouts)

These are Sea Life-themed labels for your classroom library! If you are looking to do an ocean-themed classroom, these would be a great addition. This product includes large labels for bins for 6 different genres and 1 blank label to add whatever you'd like and mini labels to add to your books. Each mini label shows the same picture that is on the large label along with an abbreviation for the genre (Example - Historical Fiction = HF). I would recommend laminating the labels if that is possible to have them last for years!

I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review!
