People Scavenger Hunt - Back to School - Get to Know You - Community Building
Welcome your students to a vibrant and inclusive classroom community with this exciting get-to-know-you activity. Designed for older elementary and middle school students, this scavenger hunt is an excellent addition to your Guidance Orientation at the beginning of the year.
The objective is simple: Students will interact with their classmates, asking them the provided questions and recording the names of those who answer "yes." To ensure fairness and inclusivity, I recommend limiting each box to one classmate's name. However, if you have concerns about having enough students to fill each box, additional rules can be introduced such as:
- Students may have the same person sign their sheet twice.
- Students may sign their own sheet twice.
- Students may choose one box as a free space.
To encourage participation and create excitement, consider offering small prizes for the first few completed scavenger hunts. This adds an element of friendly competition and motivates students to actively engage with their peers. Once the scavenger hunt is complete, gather students together to share interesting facts they learned about their classmates, fostering connections and promoting a sense of belonging.
Included in this resource are 5 different versions, both in color and low ink versions, providing flexibility and options based on your preferences and printing capabilities.
By implementing this people scavenger hunt, you'll not only create a fun and lively atmosphere in your classroom but also cultivate a strong sense of community. Students will develop meaningful relationships, discover shared interests, and celebrate the diversity within their peer group.
So, let the hunt begin! Bring your students closer together, spark conversations, and lay the foundation for a supportive and inclusive classroom environment. Download your copy today and embark on a thrilling journey of getting to know your classmates!
