16 game cards, 1 game board, worksheet, instructions, background

This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that is based on the women's suffrage movement which is studied in the 4th grade curriculum under the following standards: 4.5 Different groups of people did not have equal rights and freedoms. People worked to bring about change. The struggle for rights and freedoms was one factor in the division of the United States that resulted in the Civil War. 4.5b Women have not always had the same rights as men in the United States and New York State. They sought to expand their rights and bring about change.

• Students will examine the rights denied to women during the 1800s.
• Students will investigate people who took action to bring about change, such as Amelia Bloomer, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Elizabeth Blackwell. Students will explore what happened at the convention of women in Seneca Falls.

This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, complete the tasks to solve the mystery word and four digit code to find the Declaration of Sentiments which is a crucial document to helping women gain equality. Students will read about the rights that women were denied, the Seneca Falls Convention, Amelia Bloomer, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, the Declaration of Sentiments and the 19th amendment. Check out the preview to see what each task card entails. Students will need to walk around the room reading the task cards. Each task card has a code word on the bottom which is the answer to the question/fill in the blank. The answer will NOT be found on that same task card. For example, the answer to task card #1 is found by reading the passage on task card #8. Students MUST record which task card they found the answer on in their answer sheet under the “FOUND CARDS #” column. That column will be used at the end for the 4 digit lock code. They will follow the clues to find the correct 4 digit code. Once they have completed the scavenger hunt they will receive a half sheet of paper stating that they have found the Declaration of Sentiments document and helped Susan B. Anthony in the suffrage movement!

This activity would be a great review before assessments, as a center activity, a group activity, etc. Students will be engaged with the learning while having a fun time trying to solve all of the clues!

This game is an excellent review after reviewing the fifty US states. Students will learn to recognize the shapes of states and easily identify them on the map.

This activity is a versatile tool that can be used for early finishers, centers, assessment, buddy groups, or to enhance your lessons on the US States. Its adaptability allows you to use it in various educational settings and for different purposes.
