Recycling Activity – Scavenger Hunt Challenge – Earth Day

The Recycling Scavenger Hunt Challenge allows students to move around the classroom while reading passages and answering questions. Great Earth Day activity! The activity is structured as a cake bake-off where students determine the missing ingredients of a recipe. You can use the Recycling activity as an introduction or review activity. The Recycling activity is designed so that students must visit each of the 14 Ingredient Cards and piece together the recipe to win the great cake bake-off! Each Ingredient Card contains a short reading passage about the topic, a multiple-choice question and a clue. Students will get “clues” for which Ingredient Card they should visit next. No more boring worksheets!

This Recycling activity can be used as task cards, SCOOT activities, scavenger hunts, anticipatory sets, unit review, sub plans, stations, partner work, enrichment, early finishers or independent work. You can hang the Ingredient Cards on the wall, throw them on the floor, place them on desks, hide them or pass them amongst students. How you choose to set it up in your classroom is up to you.

Topics include: different types of products that can be recycled, how they are recycled and crazy recycling statistics!
