This 41-card scavenger hunt that can be used to teach students about the Native Americans that were first encountered by the white man as he settled in America. While completing the hunt, students will learn about the lives and accomplishments of 20 different Native Americans. This hunt covers Sitting Bull, Sacagawea, Geronimo, Chief Joseph, Red Cloud, Chief Powhatan, Quanah Parker, Dahteste, Lozen, Crazy Horse, Hiawatha, Woman Chief, Pocahontas, Pontiac, Running Eagle, Sequoyah, Squanto, Tecumseh, Black Hawk, and Sitting Bear. Each card covers a single individual from the time of their birth to their death and tells about their skills, positions, and interactions with white people. To complete the hunt, students answer 20 multiple-choice questions. First, they read a question and its possible answers. Then they read information that will help them answer it. The final card in the deck challenges students to write 3 interesting things they learned from the hunt. It can be used as a Native American Heritage month activity, to supplement a study of American history or Native Americans, as background information for a story, to practice reading informational text, for social studies or reading centers, or as an easy activity for a sub.
