This flexible product includes:

• two differently formatted paper options of the scavenger hunt
• a Google Slides version so your students can record their finds digitally making it more versatile for distance learning
• suggested answers
• instructions on how to run the activity with a variety of options
• instructions on how to assemble the paper booklet

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
• online research skills

It has been classroom tested with students in grade four and five and many students loved the challenge which took 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. The answer pages are digital so it is easy to use this activity during online learning.

This activity was designed for Canadian students, but it can be used in any country to learn more about the province of British Columbia.

Please see the preview for the level of difficulty.
