This flexible product includes:

• two differently formatted paper options of each scavenger hunt
• a digital version of the scavenger hunt that uses Google Slides
• suggested answers
• instructions on how to run the activity with a variety of options
• instructions on how to assemble the paper booklet
• each of the provinces and territories (NS, NB and PE are grouped at the Maritimes), (YT, NT, NU are grouped as Northern Canada)

This activity only includes the student materials. You will need to provide:

• atlases
• globes
• textbooks
• books
• pamphlets
• maps
• and when you've used all of those, devices to go online and research the last blank spaces.

Students can practice using:

• indexes
• lists
• table of contents
• text features
• glossaries
• map reading skills to locate, interpret and record information

These been classroom tested with students in grade four and five and many students love the challenge which takes students everywhere from two hours (the ones that gave up) to all their spare time for an entire school year (the ones that mastered it).

It can be used as a whole class activity or an extension project for those students who need an extra challenge.

This activity was designed for Canadian students, but it can be used in any country to learn more about Canada and its provinces and territories.

Please see the preview for the level of difficulty.
