Online Learning: Scavenger Hunt

20/3/2020

14 Comments

 
It's the end of the week and our students have probably been on their computers/laptops for more than usual! I decided to put together a quick scavenger hunt, where students, in teams, would have to solve riddles, then find the objects in their houses and photograph them.
​ 
We are using Microsoft Teams. I have a team for each of my classes, then within that, I have put channels together for each of my classroom teams (3-5 students). Students can work in their teams and have video calls in the teams and I can pop in and out of them! Before the class began, I made a copy of the scavenger hunt doc for each team, which they could edit. I made sure I had each of these open, so I could give them hints, praise student work, etc. 

The riddles I found on here, here and here (no point reinventing the wheel, right?). My first group yesterday struggled a little. Today I made the instructions clearer, and did this at the start of class, and it was much more successful! It was lovely to see the students working together, as a team, and to see them being quite active!

Most of my student pictures had them in - lots of smiling faces! Here's examples without student faces:
Here's the scavenger hunt document and the answers. Feel free to use this with your students! Let me know how it goes!

Love this! I am a SPED/ESL teacher serving 7-12th grade and this is perfect for my needs. I've seen other scavenger hunts but they were a little too show and tell. This will get students thinking and up and moving. Appreciate it!

This was an excellent opening exercise for students to get to know each other online. The only structure I’d add is a estimated timeline. (20minutes) and some kind of showcase discussion (20minutes)

I love the idea of this! Thank you so much for the resources!

Could I ask a couple of questions:
Where do you put the document (ie. In assigments?) and how do they edit? Brand new user to TEAMs here...
