Hello Parents! I know many parents have been thrust into the homeschool world and I wanted to put something together that will help.
My name is Jen Bengel and I am the owner and founder of Out of This World Literacy,™ an educational company providing literacy curricula for students in all grade levels.
I have a post-graduate degree as a Literacy Collaborative Coordinator and have worked for years, training teachers around the world.
For that past 6 years, I’ve also had the honor of being a homeschool mom, so I know firsthand the situation you’re in!
I put together this fun set of scavenger hunts as a way to help your child(ren) review phonics and spelling skills all while having a little fun at home! It doesn’t hurt that this will get your child(ren) up and moving and burn some energy!

Materials Needed… 1. A container/bucket for kids to put objects they find around the house in
as they complete each scavenger hunt.2. A scavenger hunt printed.
• IF A PRINTER IS NOT AVAILABLE: recreate these on loose leaf. You could also write the clues on notecards.
3. A pencil to write.
That’s it!

How to Play… 1. Pass out the scavenger hunt form.2. Decide on how much time you will give kids to play the game. You may
choose 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15, and so on.3. Set the timer. If more than one child is playing, make it a competition.
Whoever correctly finds the most objects that match the clues in the amount of time allowed is the winner!
After the Hunt… 1. Go over each item found and the spelling on the scavenger hunt form.2. Give one point for each correct object that matches the clue and one
point for each correct spelling of the object on the answer key (2 total points possible per clue).
3. Declare a winner! 4. ADDITIONAL IDEAS:
• Have child use as many of the words as possible on their answer sheet to write a short story or retell their experience. Loose leaf paper works great for this!
• Grab a piece of paper and have your child make 4 columns. Choose four words from their answer key to write at the top of each column. Then have the child write as many words as they can that make that same spelling/phonics pattern.
Scavenger Hunts Included: Below is the list of scavenger hunt games included in this set!
