Description
This is an interesting 25-card scavenger hunt that will teach students about Mount Rushmore - one of the symbols of America. While completing this hunt students will learn why it was created, what each president on the monument represents, how large it is, and more. To complete the hunt, students read a multiple-choice question. Then they read a short passage that will help them answer the question. Students receive instant feedback on whether or not they chose the correct answer. The final card in the deck challenges students to write 3 interesting things they learned from the hunt. It can be used to supplement a study of American symbols or U. S. history, to help your students learn about Mount Rushmore, for centers, or as an easy lesson for a sub.
