Constellation Scavenger Hunt 

Hi fellow teachers

I often do scavenger hunts in grade 4 to 7  classrooms. I find them particularly useful when I’m feeling tired or lacking energy (hey, we’ve all been there).

Why do I like them?

1. They are easy to set up, 
2. The students get to move around
3. The students are focussed & engaged
4. The students enjoy it 
5. The teacher is free to take notes, observe and give guidance, if necessary. 

It can look chaotic, but if observed you can see students really trying, really reading the information, and really collaborating and cooperating.

How it works:

There are two components:

1. A two page worksheet (print double-sided, one per student)
2. 12 informational panels that contain the answers to the questions (these need to be printed on one side, cut in half and pinned in various locations around your room).
3. Hand out the worksheet and off they go!

I have used this activity in a Grade 6 class.

The whole activity takes about 40 minutes and I might suggest watching a couple of Youtube videos on the topic to ‘get them in the mood.

Good luck!

This Chinese New Year (also known as the Lunar New Year) activity teaches students about the animals in the Chinese zodiac and the years for each one. It's great for young elementary students to see the cycle of the zodiac and also great for young learners to practice their fine motor skills.

✨Take a peek at the preview to get a closer look.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

• PDF file
• Zodiac wheel template (it's already started for you with the year of the dragon!)
• Cut & paste zodiac animals with their name and year.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Easily print the resource from your computer.

2. Have the students color each zodiac animal.

3. Students can cut out each triangle.

3. Students glue each zodiac animal in order going backwards after the year of the dragon (2024, 2023, 2022, etc.)

4. Students share their wheel and talk about which zodiac animal they are

WHO IS IT FOR?

• Elementary School Teachers: You'll love this as a resource for your students to practice their fine motor skills while having fun!
• Homeschooling Parents: No need to do worksheet after worksheet. Use this resource to help your child strengthen their fine motor skills.

FEATURES

• Each page is 8.5" x 11", but you can adjust this in your printer settings.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

In addition to printing out this resource, you'll need scissors, crayons, and glue.
