VALUE -- SCAVENGER HUNT: - We took
our YW to the public library for a scavenger hunt. This was a
challenge
for them - not only did they have to work hard to complete their lists,
but they had to be quiet! We paired the girls up and turned them
loose with a list of information to locate. They were only
allowed
to ask the librarian one question. Some of the things they
had to do were: locate a book by its call number and write down the
title
and author, find a book by a certain author and read it aloud with
their
partner, find out how many book titles in our library contain the key
word
MOUNTAIN, list the days and times for Storytime, list the daily fine
for
overdue books and video rental prices, count how many different
newpapers
are available in our library, list 3 books written by a certain
author,
find the call number using the author and title, tell what subject can
be found under a certain call number, etc... Each answer was
worth
2 points and most items had more than 1 part to them. We had a
total
of 20 items on the list, with 82 possible points. Our tiebreaker
was extra points for those who had a library card of their own.
The
girls loved it and were very competitive! Carrie ,

California SERVICE SCAVENGER HUNT: - We did a service scavenger hunt. Each team had a list of services, such as sweeping a floor, changing a diaper, etc., that they had to go around a do for someone. We had a great time. Heather Graveyard Scavenger Hunt (learning how to read gravestones to help with genealogy) |
