Scavenger Hunt

Overview:
Scavenger Hunt is a library research game that can help teach research skills to elementary grade students. You can play the scavenger hunt
game with any topic that interests you and your students. I have supplied a sample game using the Civil War as a topic.

Objective:
Students will demonstrate efficient use of library media center research tools by verifying given information using different library tools.

Lesson Plan:
Divide students into teams of three or four. Give each team of students
a card with 6 questions printed on it. Give each team a worksheet to list Resources Used in the Library Media Center . Have students verify facts by using different sources. Each team is responsible for identifying the sources they used to verify their answers.
