A Long Walk

Worksheet Description

The “Long Walk Scavenger Hunt” worksheet is designed to turn a simple walk into an adventure of discovery for students. It features a list of various objects and sights that one might encounter while strolling through a neighborhood or park. Students have a space at the top of the sheet to write their name, making the experience personal. The list includes a range of items to spot, from natural phenomena like a predatory bird, a garden, or an evergreen tree, to more urban or residential items like a fence, a car, or a pickup truck. Each item has a checkbox beside it, so students can mark off what they’ve found.

This scavenger hunt encourages students to be observant and mindful of their surroundings, enhancing their outdoor experience by looking for specific details they might normally overlook. It includes items that appeal to a variety of interests, such as wildlife spotting (a stray cat or a squirrel), noticing architectural features (steps or a stoop, bricks), or identifying common objects (a child’s toy, a lawn mower). The activity not only serves to enrich students’ observational skills but also provides a fun, interactive way to learn about different aspects of their environment. It’s an excellent opportunity for students to connect with the outdoor world, fostering curiosity and a sense of exploration.
