Need a fun project for your little ones on those rainy days when you’re stuck inside? We have some great ideas to share with you!
An easy option is to create an Indoor Scavenger Hunt. You can choose any items you would like to hide around the room. Students could work as a class, individually, or in teams. You will need to set up the hunt while students are out of the room. Before school or even during lunch or music would be a great time to do this! You can place items anywhere in the room or restrict it to a smaller area. Remember that your students are shorter than you. You will want to keep their height’s perspective in mind when placing your items. Under tables, on top of cabinets, or just in plain sight, there are lots of fun places in the classroom to hide things!
Now you will need a list of the items that the students will be searching for. You could provide them with a check list or write the items on the board. Items can either be collected or simply located. If students are locating the item, have them write down where they found it. This will allow you to check their page to see if they’re right. If you have enough items for everyone to collect, then we suggest taking that route. Students will love collecting the items as they go!
Items can be just about anything you want. You could use more generic items that could easily be found around the room, like a paper clip or a pencil, or something a bit more advanced and specific, like a crayon in the color sky blue or a yellow sports ball. It will all depend on how challenging you want the hunt to be.
You can even take your Indoor Scavenger Hunt to the next level by adding in some curriculum. For example, you could focus on letter or number recognition and have them find different letters or numbers. If you wanted to take it even further you could have them spell out words with the letters they find or calculate a math problem with their numbers.
Easter is on its way! Change this up to make an Easter Egg Hunt by hiding eggs instead of just random items. You can fill the eggs with fun little things to give your students a surprise with each find.
