Description: This is a 33-card scavenger hunt that can be used to teach students about the Pilgrims. In this hunt, students will learn why they are called Pilgrims, how their original plan to come to America changed, why they got along so well with the Native Americans, and more. To complete the hunt, students are presented with 16 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 Pilgrims. It can be used as a Thanksgiving lesson, to supplement a study of the colonization of America, to enhance the understanding of a story, or practice for reading informational text.
