Library Skills: Text Clues Task Cards

By Amanda G

This pack includes 24 scavenger hunt cards and a printable answer sheet allowing students to record up to twelve answers.

I designed this set with the library in mind but you can easily use this in your classroom.

The purpose of this scavenger hunt is to familiarize/support students in using text clues to determine the subject of a book.

How to use:

* Print, laminate and cut each card.. You will need a pile of picture books and a selection of nonfiction books. Make sure you have books that will answer each of the task cards, and some extras that don’t match any. You may also wish to select books that could meet the requirement of more than one task card.

What others are saying:

  • Thanks for providing these - students felt like detectives! (Leeann Denham's Library)
  • Great idea! Love your library ideas! (Keep 'em coming!) TY!!! (Sunshine Sprouts)
