Classroom Treasure Hunt

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Classroom Treasure Hunt organizer also includes:
  • Treasure Pencil Toppers
  • Join to access all included materials

What better way to learn or reinforce words than by going on a treasure hunt? Scholars explore their classroom to discover words that are hidden and can only be found by the clues given on a worksheet. When every word has been found, learners work together to create a sentence using eight word cards.

Instructional Ideas

  • Copy cards and laminate them for continued use 
  • Provide class members with their pencil topper prior to conducting the treasure hunt, in order to spark engagement 
  • Write subject-related vocabulary, spelling, or high-frequency words on cards for learners to find and record on their worksheet

Classroom Considerations

  • The word cards look best copied in color 
  • Treasure hunt cards with words are not provided; modifications are necessary 
  • The activity is the last of eight back-to-school resources

Pros

  • Includes printable pencil toppers
  • The activity gets learners out of their seat     

Cons

  • None
