How many states can you cover before time runs out? In this face-paced Geography game (like the Perfection board game), students must cover as many states with the correct state shape to rack up as many points as possible. The winner with the highest score wins. This game can also be played solo, where students must beat their score.

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.

If you are looking for a winning combination of reading passages, movement, question trails and code words, The Endangered Animals Scavenger Hunt is for you! With this activity, students move around the classroom while using their reading comprehension skills and answering questions. Your students will be eager to finish the task with a mystery word and a secret 4-digit.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

✏️ 10 Short Reading Passages

✏️ 10 Question Trails

✏️ Student Recording Sheet

✏️ Student Directions

✏️ Teacher Directions

✏️ Teacher Answer Key

HOW IT WORKS: A “secret mission” is read, and students choose a card to start with. It does NOT matter what card students begin with because the order of completion does not matter. The code word question on their card will lead to a different card. All you have to do is print the clues, cut them in half, and hang or hide them! Although, you might want to laminate the clues for multiple uses.

Each of the 10 cards included with this activity includes a short reading passage about the topic, a question trail and a code word. Students will get “code word questions” to determine which card they should visit next. Since they are not told which card to visit next, they will be going around and reading all of the cards until they find the one they need. This fun front-loading lesson includes 10 short passages, a question trail, a final mystery word and a 4-digit code. Each card reveals a new code word.

If you’re looking for a unique way to teach your students about endangered animals, then this is perfect for you. You can hang the cards on the wall, scatter them on the floor, place them on desks, hide them or pass them amongst students. How you choose to set it up this activity is up to you. You may even have a few more ideas of ways to use these cards and recording sheets.

As stated earlier, the cards do not tell the students which card has the answer to the code word question, so they will revisit the endangered animals text multiple times practicing reading comprehension and critical thinking skills as they rotate around the room seeking text evidence. To ensure understanding of the subject matter, students will answer questions that can be found directly in the reading passages. No prior knowledge is needed.

You can have the students work in pairs (or individually) and race to complete 10 questions. A friendly competition always increases engagement. Students will read the text, answer 10 questions, unscramble a final mystery word and reveal a 4-digit code.
