Description: This is a 36-card Memorial Day Scavenger Hunt. While completing this hunt, students will learn what war inspired the holiday, why it is on May 30th, traditions associated with the holiday, and more. To complete the hunt, students are presented with a question with some possible answers. Then they read a short passage where the information can be found. 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 facts they learned from the hunt. It is a great activity to use to teach students about Memorial day, to practice reading informational text, or as an easy lesson for a sub.
