Multisensory Monday: Ending Blends Scavenger Hunt

This game is guaranteed to be a favorite with your students! It includes all 16 ending blends found in lessons 2-13 A, B, and C and can be used as a multisensory activity for lessons 2-14 or 2-15.  The students will love getting up, moving around, and finding clues as they read words with ending blends!     

Materials:

• Index cards
• Tape
• Cup
• Container with a twist top
• Ruler
• Rubber band
• Small prize/optional

Make it Multisensory:

Prepare task cards and items in advance (task card material below). Before the session begins, place cards and objects around the room, as noted below. For more practice, after the hunt, have your student underline the blends on the clue cards.

First card for the student to read:

A Hunt for Hints

Do not sulk. This is not a test.

Just try and do your very best!

This is a hunt with hints and tasks.

If you want help, lift your hand and ask!

Now, hand student task card #1 to read:

Task #1

Stand up and look for the hint to your left.

Task card #2 should be placed/taped somewhere left of your student, a challenge to find yet somewhat visible. Once they find the card, have your student read the next clue:

Task #2

Hide this card by or behind the map in your room with a portion of it visible. Once your student finds this card, have them read the fact and next clue:

Task #3
