This scavenger hunt, or “write the room” activity can be used in school settings or at home! Print pictures in color on cardstock. Laminate if you want/if possible (this allows them to be taken down and put back up over and over again!). Use a paper cutter to cut out pictures and “hide” around your space. I like using bluetac for this (the BLUE kind works best!). If you are in an environment where many children will be excited to use this - I find it helpful to limit how many can use it at a time by displaying a stack of the list papers with however many clipboards and pencils you think are appropriate. (In my classroom of 30 - I have two clipboards available). Children “find” the pictures around the room and copy the words down on their list paper. Print to fit.

*Helpful to give a lesson on what the pictures are before having child attempt the hunt. I thoroughly explain what each picture is, that each picture only has three sounds and then we sound them out and write them as a group. Then the child has more skills to work on the hunt themselves.
