Tip 28: Host a virtual scavenger hunt

As educators brainstorm ways to keep students engaged, stay connected and keep the fun alive, many are turning to virtual scavenger hunts. It’s a great activity for students to think critically, evaluate their surroundings, get moving, engage with each other, share pieces of their lives and feel connected with their classmates!

Sandy Grade School posted two great scavenger hunts, encouraging students to complete the scavenger hunt on their own time and share to social media.

Lauren De Amezaga & Deirdre Nic Ruairí from Zilker Elementary School wrote about their scavenger hunt experience. We love how they brainstormed items with the kiddos!

Mrs. Burke was wise to list out rules ahead of time! She also offered a prize (a virtual high five ✋).

Other have been showcasing their school pride — like in this case where students showed their #MustangSpirit!

This one from @mongirlsknight has pictures of everyone’s findings — including cats, dogs and humans!

All in all, everyone seems to be having some fun and appreciating their scavenger hunts (just make sure to remind kids to clean up after themselves so parents remain happy too!).
