⭐What are Classmate Scavenger Hunts???
A Classmate Scavenger Hunt is an activity where students get to talk & walk around with their classmates to find out more about them and collect signatures/initials.
These activities are designed to help students spend time getting to know all of their classmates. (not just their “besties.”)
They also offer a chance to get the wiggles out! Teachers can even participate to build teacher-student relationships.
Many teachers use them as enrichment activities around Back to School, Back From Winter Break, Spring Break, and End of the Year.
Basically, you can use this resource all year long!

This was a great resource for returning from spring break. We have 2 weeks off which feels like a lifetime in the middle of the school year. Students really enjoyed reconnecting with one another and talking about what they did in the last two weeks. It was also a great opportunity for students get up and moving, a lot of students were groggy and tired the first day back, and this was a great energy booster.

Victor S. –
My students love back-to-school scavenger hunts, and this product conveniently adapts the event for multiple times in the school year! I like how there are three different versions of each scavenger hunt, which can either make the activity shorter or extend it with customable boxes. The “Your name” box is especially helpful so that students learn how to spell each other’s names correctly.
