Have a Scavenger Hunt!

This activity worked great when I needed something for a substitute teacher to do, or on those days I wasn't feeling quite up to snuff. 

I took a classroom reader they had already finished and made a list of 10-12 words that could only be found on one specific page. For example, I might have chosen the word "wow" from this page. 

Assigning the children in groups, give each child a book, but the group gets one list of words. They have X number of minutes to find all the words and put the page number next to the word.

When time is up, the table with the most correct answers wins!

(Note: the list would look something like this:)

wow        ____________
gong        ____________
pocket     ____________

Science Scavenger Hunt

By the end of the school year my Kinder can sound out/read these words. I divide the class into groups of 4, and give each group a list and a paper bag (a plastic grocery bag works just as well.)  Taking them out to the vacant lot/playground, I let them search for the items on their list. 

The list has the following words:  rock, leaf, flower, grass, seed, and wood, plus a ? and an X.  The ? means they don't know what the item is, and X is for anything that's not on the list - their "eXtra" choice.

When we're finished, we go back to the classroom where each team can then dump the contents of their bags, and they discuss with the class what they found.
