We're Going On A Spring Hunt...freebie!

Every spring, I take my class outdoors for a signs of spring scavenger hunt.

I begin by reading We're Going On A Nature Hunt by Steve Metzger.

Then I tell my class that we're going to head outside to hunt for spring.

One boy got very excited, because he's likes to go hunting...sorry buddy, we're using clipboards, not guns :)

I pair up my students and equip them with a clipboard, a crayon, and a scavenger hunt list.

Then we head outside!

The first thing we noticed was the spring sunshine--check!

My list has an arrow pointing to each item. To 'check off' an item, they colour in the arrow. I had them take turns, to avoid arguments :)

Here are some pictures from our signs of spring search around the schoolyard:

buds & blossoms

Happy hunting! lol
