Items You Will Look for with the Circle Scavenger Hunt
Your student will search your house or classroom for these round or circular items:
- clock
- cookie (if you don’t have cookies, consider a toy cookie; you could also buy a few special treats for this hunt)
- button
- donut
- ball of yarn
- steering wheel (consider encouraging your student to look for a toy car for this one)
- pancake
- pizza
- yo-yo
- tire (again, you can use a toy car)
- ring
- plate
- grape
- glasses
As your student locates each item, have her color it on the printable page provided.
For extra fun, give your student a magnifying glass and allow him to carefully examine the items as he finds them.
After you finish the circle scavenger hunt, look for more items that are circular. How many more can you find? Go outside to spot some. Are there more inside or outside?
Benefits of the Circle Scavenger Hunt
This circle scavenger hunt is great as a go-along with your shape theme. It provides many benefits for your student.
- Scavenger hunts boost observation skills. As your child looks for objects, he will develop better observation skills.
- Scavenger hunts require movements; this promotes gross motor development.
- A scavenger hunt can provide safe sensory input for your student (feel the fuzzy ball of yarn, taste the yummy pizza or donut, smell the grapes, etc.)
- If you work on the scavenger hunt as a team, it will promote cooperation and social skills development.
