American Symbols & Monuments Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
Introduce your students to the thrilling no prep American symbols and monuments Scavenger Hunt! This engaging and interactive activity puts students in the shoes of a detective trying to find a stolen piece of artwork that has been hidden at one of our country's important monuments.
Each student, or group of students, will receive 10 reading task cards related to the various American symbols and monuments. The task is not only to read the cards but to solve 10 questions—the catch is that the answer to each question is found on a different card, encouraging students to read all the information thoroughly.
How It Works:
Failing to unscramble the mystery word or crack the 4-digit code will result in failing to retrieve the priceless artwork and it disappearing with the thief for good. However, completing the mission means students will have successfully found the art at the landmark uncovered in the clues!
What Makes This Activity Perfect for Your Classroom:
Ideal for Different Learning Styles
Whether done individually or in groups, this scavenger hunt provides the perfect opportunity for students to collaborate and share ideas as they solve the puzzles. If students are working independently, it gives them a chance to practice self-paced learning while still engaging with the history of our country's monuments.
Perfect for History Lessons or Fun Themed Activities This activity fits seamlessly into your classroom’s history curriculum. It’s a perfect way to introduce and reinforce learning about the various American symbols and monuments that shaped our country's history.
This American Symbols and Monuments Scavenger Hunt is not only a fun, no-prep classroom activity, but it also ensures that students gain a deeper understanding of history while developing important reading and comprehension skills. Bring the excitement of the important symbols and monuments into your classroom with this adventure-packed scavenger hunt.
