What is Classroom Scavenger Hunt?

A five-minute brain break that sneaks in learning: challenges ask for a word with seven letters, a shape with three sides, a number over 100, a picture of an animal — all things found in a normal classroom. Put it on the board with fullscreen and let the tables compete.

Choose the age group to match your class; younger settings use simpler finds and longer countdowns.
