A fun, hands-on activity using a die and a chart to create a treasure map, and then use it to write a procedural text.
Use this resource to create a treasure map. Then, have your students write a procedural text explaining how to find the hidden treasure.
How to use this resource:
- Roll the die. Find the row that matches the number rolled on the chart.
- See which map feature is in the ‘1st Roll’ column. Draw it where you would like on the treasure map.
- Roll the die again. Repeat the process from your previous turn, this time looking in the ‘2nd Roll’ column. Add the new feature to your treasure map.
- Continue the process until you have added five features to your treasure map.
- Choose a secret location for your treasure and a starting point on the map. Write a set of directions from the starting point to your hidden treasure.
This resource works great as a writing center activity, or when working on cardinal directions in social studies.
