Nature Scavenger Hunt Extension Activities

Turn one game into even more educational activities with these additional gameplay ideas. 

Same But Different

Challenge students to access their critical thinking skills. As a whole class or in small groups, ask students to compare the items they were asked to find outside, listing specific differences and similarities. For example:

• Which things start with the same letter?
• Which things are the same colour?
• Which things fly?
• Which things grow on the ground?
• Which items are in the air?
• Which items need food to live?

Nature Words Brain Buster

As a small group or whole class, challenge your students to think of as many other natural words as possible. Have them shout out words (or call on students) while you write the words on a smartboard, whiteboard, or other projection devices for students to see. Then, have students pick three words and draw a picture of each.

Book Scavenger Hunt

Can’t go outside? Have students look through books to find the items on their sheets.
