Step 1: Pick a Topic or Theme

Homework can be fun! Tickle their imagination...   and yours, too, when the grades go up!
Brain Teasers, Games, and Activities for Hours of Fun Reading level: Ages 9-12

Step 2: Create a List of Questions

• Clue #1: Google “Subtraction” – Feel free to get side tracked at the Aquarium
  
  • Answer: Google results show “Gameaquarium”

• Clue #2: Can you win a million dollars doing math?
  
  • Answer: The first link on the Gameaquarium Subtraction page shows “Subtracting to win a million.” If the user clicks on the link, they are led to Quia.com where they can perform a subtraction quiz as part of the online scavenger hunt.

Step 3: Throw in a Twist

• Clue #3: Once you have won your million, make your way over to the bookcase in the corner and check out “Alice in Wonderland.”
  • Answer: Inside the front cover of the book have a piece of paper that says, “How fast can you finish the ‘Speed Grid Challenge’ on Gameaquarium? Finish the challenge, write down your time (fastest time wins!) and then return to your original Google search to continue the online scavenger hunt by finding something ‘Fun 4 the Brain’!” 

• Clue #4 can lead them to whatever you want them to complete on that site about math in general or subtraction specifically...and so on with the rest of the clues.

• Clue #5 You could also set one of the “questions” as a picture only. The picture will serve as a hint and they have to figure out what it means to get to the next clue in the online scavenger hunt – but don’t make it too hard! 

Step 4: Set a Time Limit

Make sure everyone starts and ends the online scavenger hunt at the same time. You can give prizes for the first person/group that finished – but only if they get everything right! - or for fastest correct finish, best attitude, most accurate... You decide!

There are lots of cool online resources that have ready-made online scavenger hunts if you need some examples to get you started. One such website is Mrs. O’s House. Just one of many fun ways to learn in a buzzing kids world.
