Description: This is a 43-card scavenger hunt that can be used to review or teach students about the ancient Mayan Empire. In this hunt students will learn how the Maya developed into an advanced civilization, how we know so much about them, what happened to them, and more. To complete the hunt, students are presented with 21 multiple-choice questions. Then they read the information that will help them answer the questions. If they choose the correct answer, they are directed to the next question. If their answer is incorrect, they can reread the text to find the correct answer. They 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 about the Maya. The hunt can be used to enhance a study of ancient civilizations, to review the Mayan Empire, as practice for reading informational text, or as an easy lesson for a sub.
