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:
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
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!
