Description

This Kauri Gum Diggers Scavenger Hunt is an engaging cross-curricular reading comprehension activity. Allow your students to move around the room, visit reading passages and answer questions. Solve the mystery of the Fossil in the Frost!
 
The task card scavenger hunt is designed so students must visit/read each of the ten fact cards! That means they must read the passage or skim for details multiple times! Students will use nonfiction social studies content to practice reading skills, improve fluency and comprehension, and use context clues.
