Treasure hunt: A Game for remote learning

Object of the Game: This game is based of a game called Treasure Hunt by Professor Puzzle. This remote version is a great way to build in some kinesthetic movement into your remote lesson as well as practice parts of speech. You can play as a whole group class in Zoom, Google Meet, or other video-conferencing platform.

​Getting Set-up:
  • A list of nouns
  • A digital spinner (ie. wheel of names)
  • Scorepad

Whole Class Game Play:
  1. Create a spinning wheel using wheel of names that has a variety of adjectives.
  2. Shout out a noun.
  3. Students have 1 minute (you can determine time) to search for. ie. red shoe
  4. Every student who finds either something that matches the adjective or noun within the time given is awarded a point. If they find something that matches both the noun and the adjective, they are awarded two points.
  5. The first student to reach 15 points wins.

​Team Variation:
  1. In video conferencing groups of 4-6, students have 15 minutes to create an adjective wheel using a digital spinner such as, Wheel of Names, and a list of nouns. 
  2. When students come back together as a class, a team leader is chosen from each group to spin the adjective wheel they created and shout out the noun on their turn.
  3. Play continues to each team, with team leader spinning their adjective wheel creation and shouting out noun from the list.
  4. Points are calculated per team as above. One point is given for each student on the team who finds the adjective or noun, and 2 points if they find both. The team to reach 15 points first wins.

Extension idea:
Have each team or individual create a story using all of the nouns and adjectives used in the game. They can share their story creation in written form or share as a video using a digital tool such as Flipgrid.

Culinary Variation:
For all my culinary friends, you can do this with ingredients too! Create a wheel of food describing adjectives such as, sweet, crunchy, sour, etc and shout out a food category (vegetable, protein, etc). Students have to find an ingredient that fits that description. If you are concerned that students may not all have equal access to ingredients, you could do a similar activity in Google Slides. Create a collaborative slide deck with one slide for each student. Each student claims a slide and puts their name on it. When you spin the wheel they have to bring in a picture to their slide that matches the description. Select "grid" view so you can see which pictures came in within the minute. Students can erase their picture after each round.

I would love to hear other variations that you come up with for this game as well as pics of you playing with your class! Please share out on social media and tag me @tishrich on Twitter and @makelearningmagical on Instagram. Make sure to include #MLmagical!
