Hello,
I have taught early childhood education for 22 years. I was part of the pilot pre-k program in Georgia and taught pre-k for 18 years before moving to kindergarten. I taught there for 2 years and moved to first grade this year.
This game can be used as an ice breaker on the first day of school. Clues describing everyday school items are read by the teacher. The clues begin as very vague to actually naming the object. The teacher can use this in small groups or large groups with a partner. I have revised this game from the original copy.
Looking for first day of school activities? This scavenger hunt will have your students buzzing to follow the rules. It will help set the tone for the rest of the year.

I also wanted to present out rules in a fun way that hopefully will help my students remember and follow the rules all year long. Included in this product are:
Scavenger hunt clues about each area of
