Scavenger Hunt

Assignment:

Create a online scavenger hunt that is appropriate for the age of your students.
If you want to limit the web sites that your students can search from, list them at the top of your document. Have a mininum of 15 questions. Some easy, some hard.
Put the 15 word answers into one of the puzzles available at the discovery channel puzzle maker.

I teach 2nd grade, and our social studies curriculum includes a unit on the Georgia Regions. I use this one website every year (http://library.thinkquest.org/CR0213900/) and do an entire lap book with the kids. The website is actually created by middle school students, so it is written in kid-friendly language, and should be easy to use to search for the answers to the questions.
I created the document in word, rather than google docs because the wordsearch itself failed to format correctly in that application.
I love this idea for my class. It would be a great center/ small group activity for the kids.
