Ukraine Scavenger Hunt - 2 Levels - PROCEEDS DONATED TO UNICEF UKRAINE

By FUNctional Academics Educator

Thank you for your interest in my product!

PROCEEDS FROM THIS PRODUCT WILL BE DONATED TO UNICEF UKRAINE!

Like many of you, the country of Ukraine and its people have been on my mind and heart daily. Saddened by what is taking place and feeling helpless I wished there was more I could do to help. Undoubtedly, you are also thinking about your students during time and looking for ways to address this current event with them in an age appropriate way.

This scavenger hunt is a fun way for students to learn fun and interesting facts about Ukraine while bringing attention to the country & culture. Students can work together to complete the scavenger hunt bringing unity to the classroom. Activity pages at the end give students the opportunity to reflect and even express their emotions.

This resource does not directly address the current climate or war in Ukraine. This resource was designed to teach about the beauty of Ukraine and its rich culture. I have found many students have been flooded with information and images of the war from different media source. This gives students insight to what Ukraine was like before the war.

Donation Details:

I have priced this resource at $5.00 and will donate 100% of the proceeds to UNICEF Ukraine. UNICEF is working in Ukraine to provide necessary resources, support and assistance to children and their families.

Follow along on Instagram where I will be posting the donations to see how much we can donate together!

This resource includes:

  • 20 Ukraine scavenger hunt fact cards

Level 1 – Multiple Choice

- 2 answer sheets with 10 questions each

- 1 follow up worksheet with 10 questions

Level 2 – Write in the Answer

- 2 answer sheets with 10 questions each

- 1 follow up worksheet with 10 questions

  • 3 different Ukraine flag activity pages
  • 1 Ukraine map activity
  • Total of 10 worksheets and 60 questions
  • Teacher guide
  • Teacher answer key

With this interactive scavenger hunt students will learn fun and interesting facts about Ukraine. For example: Did you know Ukraine used to be apart of another country? Or that Ukraine is about the same size as Texas? The scavenger hunt includes 20 fact cards and asks students to read the cards closely for information to fill in the answer

This scavenger hunt will still work broken into shorter segments for multiple lessons or a shorter activity.

This scavenger hunt also works well as a scoot game!

World War I Nonfiction Reading Comprehension Task Card Escape Room Activity

By That One Cheerful Classroom

Make learning about World War I fun with this engaging, hands-on task card escape room. This activity includes 16 task cards that are broken down into 4 levels or puzzle types, giving students a chance to practice nonfiction reading comprehension skills while actively decoding puzzles.

Lead your students to discover information about World War I by exploring it on their own before teaching or have them use it to review information. Students will answer questions that can be found directly in their reading passage, so there is no prior knowledge needed.

Here's what you'll get:

  • two-page reading comprehension passage
  • 16 task cards
  • student recording sheet
  • 4 decoder puzzles
  • teacher directions, prep tips and FAQs
  • puzzle decoder hints
  • answer key

Students will revisit the nonfiction text multiple times, practicing reading comprehension and critical thinking skills as they rotate around the room decoding puzzles. They can work in pairs or individually in a race to complete the 16 questions. This friendly competition is sure to increase engagement!

Prep is quick and easy... NO LOCKS, FANCY ENVELOPES, or HIDING OF CLUES NEEDED! Just print the recording sheets and reading passage, cut and spread out the 16 task cards and decoder puzzles, and let students get to work!

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Courtney S. says, "I used this as a review/recap of the end of our WWI unit. It was the perfect activity for them! It was easy to implement."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kasey E. says, "As we near the end of the year, I am running out of time to really dive into units like we did in the beginning. This escape room works great for this. The passage covers the main topics of WWI, and then it allows my kids the fun of completing the escape room with the decoders."
