Landforms Scavenger Hunt + Free BOOM Cards

With this scavenger hunt students will gain knowledge of landforms, while practicing naming them. The scavenger hunt is provided in three formats; with photographs, color illustrations, and black/white illustrations. Two formats for student use with the scavenger hunt cards are now included; a questions sheet and a crossword puzzle.

Directions for Use

1. Print the Landforms Scavenger Hunt cards on card stock then cut them apart. Laminate for durability if desired.

2. Make copies of the Landforms Scavenger Hunt questions worksheet and/or the crossword puzzle sheet. Each student needs a copy.

3. Place the Landforms Scavenger Hunt cards around your classroom where students will be able to find them. You can put them on chairs, on the computer keyboard, on the back of your classroom door, on the sides of student desks, on the chalkboard, or wherever you like.

4. Students have to search the room and find all of the sentence cards to answer the questions. You can differentiate by having students work alone or with a classmate.

More about the Product

Students complete this landforms activity as part of a rotation during social studies centers or reading groups. I only have 4 or 5 students walking around with clipboards to locate the sentence cards and write their answers. Students needing extra support can be paired with a partner for this activity. I have also done similar activities with the whole class or as a filler for early finishers, especially if you made the cards a little bit tricky to find. My students enjoy this activity.
