Scavenger Hunt Case Study

Our school has and will continue to have many great achievers and leaders! We have been filled with a great amount of knowledge and potential. Separately we can move a rock but together we can move mountains. We all did our best and gave outstanding accomplishments to this school. Nevertheless, whether our involvement was by trophies, by knowledge, or even just being a

One of the more important skills students will learn outside the classroom is teamwork. This quality can not be taught it must be learned by experience. Members will be on teams to compete in competitions. Students must learn the limits and strengths of their team member if they wish to succeed. This skill prepares students for the team work assignments which will be required in classes, as well as in everyday

The first person to fill in all of their squares without repeating a name wins. Tell students to raise their paper and call out if they think they have won. 7. Give students time to complete their scavenger hunt. Walk around the classroom while students are engaged to make sure everyone is playing fairly and nobody is running. Call time when a student has announced they have finished and have students quietly freeze where they are standing while you check the possible winning sheet. If the student is mistaken, have the class resume the activity. If not, ask students to return to their seats. 8. Discuss the scavenger hunt with students. Who learned something new about their classmates? What did they learn? Why was it important to use good listening skills during the scavenger hunt? Why was it important to use good speaking skills? 9. If time allows, students can practice their reading and listening skills online with interactive stories at this Web site http://www.alfy.com/Storyville 10. 11. Evaluation: 12.

Auburndale High School is creating an extraordinary environment that inspires greatness in our student athletes through the leadership and support of the coaching staff, training facilities, and proper equipment within our interscholastic programs. We strive to empower our students with the values of respect and accountability through the participation in State Championship level athletic programs while experiencing the value of ethical teamwork and sportsmanship.

Anxious and excited, the eighth graders could not wait to step off the big yellow bus onto the soccer field of Pine Lake Challenge Course in Bristol, Connecticut. Working in small groups of eleven, students were faced with many different types of challenges that required teamwork. As a team, I believe most of our challenges were completed as best as they could be. This retreat gave me a wider view of how it really is like to work together.

You’d think with all the different clicks of people, being one class would almost be impossible, but I truly saw a miracle happen my senior year. Everyone was friends with everyone, we all went to the games, we sat in the rain, braved the storms, and took defeat together. This taught me so much about the people around me. There was so much more to the students I had previously thought I knew; and to find out all we had to do was loose a few state championships. After every state championship we lost you could still feel the pride within the student body, we would stay and cheer until our athletes came off the fields. We also made it a point to make sure they knew we believed they were champions to us.

It is difficult for me to describe my four years at Wilmington High School in a way that brings it to life on paper; however, I feel I can best explain my purpose throughout high school with one quote. Thomas Edison, the very successful American inventor, once said, “There is no substitute for hard work.” During my high school experience, I have spent my time working hard rather than searching hard for a shortcut. There is truly no shortcut to success. If I had not joined the sports or clubs I had, my life would have been easier, but not successful. My grades may have been less of a challenge to maintain if I neglected extracurriculars. However, without my sports and clubs, I would not have been taught the meaning of teamwork and dedication

I have been continuing with the word scavenger hunt and it appears to be successful with the clients. Each week I have been finding more and more of them joining in. Even the ones that wish not to participate at first will join in once it starts. The secret sentences get slightly longer each week to accommodate the growing number of participants. I usually feel a slight anxiety before I start the game, wondering if it would be successful, but now after five tries, I have no doubt in its success.

They worked as a better team, not just playing basketball but, to improve their academic scores as

• Extracurricular activities, where students can share their talents with others, learn new skills such as sports, arts and science activities.

The scavenger hunt is a week long, worldwide event. All participants are part of a 15 person team. A person can create their own team, or they can sign up online, and the team will be created for them. The cool thing is one could be on the same team as someone all the way over in Europe! Once the hunt starts, Misha airs a video online with a short speech, and along with the video, releases a list of the things participants must “find”. But not everything is necessarily something to be found. Some of the things a team must create. Each thing a team may “find” is worth points. But as proof a team actually “found” things, they must document them in the form of a picture or video, and post them online. At the end of the week, the team with the most points gets to travel somewhere, personally, with Misha, and spend the weekend with him.

We have done really well this season as a team. Our scores have been improving and every meet there has been many personal high scores.

We have a scavenger hunt that will going on from September 8th to October 7th with the Living & Learning students (We’re hoping for ~250 students). We will have prizes like gift cards for the leading team each week, plus cards for the leading teams at the end of the hunt. On Friday the 9th, will be hosting an event called judgment day, where the teams will compete in goofy activities like moving marbles with chopsticks. We will be using an application called Scavify. I believe by following this link would have some good information: https://scavify.com/university-programs-student-engagement

Although we had many things that we could improve on, we still had some areas that we managed to strive at. We excelled in selling our food. A hudge reason for that is because of our marketting skills. The first day we sold, we got most of the school talking about us for our tasty food. We made our bussiness stand out by selling hotdogs. No other group did this, so we had no compatition for people that enjoied hotdogs, and a lot of people enjoied hotdogs. We also strived in teamwork. Our group members got along very well. This made us have little issues with unproductive arguments.
