The Scavenger Hunt

Inspired by yesterday’s meet-the-teacher exercise, I set up two scavenger hunts for my daughter this morning.

The hunts consisted of tiny notecards with couplets for clues. Example:

If finding the next card is your goal,
You’ll should look in the basket that gives you “control.”

Doggerel for the win!

She looked here and there for twelve total cards. I managed to make the clues easy enough to be deciphered and the locations hard enough to require additional effort in locating the actual card.

All told, we spent about an hour doing it this morning. It was fun to make, and she had fun figuring stuff out.

The next question: how to put this model to use?
