ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
This week we invite your students to explore the Kids’ Guide to Canada interactive map by completing a fun Scavenger Hunt in the privacy of your classroom. We’ve created a list of possible items for students to find from which you can pick and choose, depending on the length of time you have available, and the skill level of your students. Simply add or subtract questions to match an appropriate number of questions and level of difficulty for your needs.
We will send electronic certificates and electronic badges to every participating class who completes this activity. Teachers should email us at akgtcanada@gmail.com to let us know how many students have completed the Scavenger Hunt activity, and at what level.
