Ordinal and Cardinal Numbers Scavenger Hunt Ideas

Why not plan a scavenger hunt for the first day back from vacation for kindergarteners who need to know ordinal and cardinal numbers? Try working with a small group to engage the youth in a conversation about cardinal numbers. For example, your first clue is: look for number one under the teacher’s desk.

Under the teacher’s desk is the second clue that leads to clue number two found inside the box of scissors. The third clue can lead to number three next to the fig tree. Clue number four, or clue four, is hanging above the bookshelf in the reading corner. What a wonderful and exciting way to engage children in fun verbiage using ordinal and cardinal positions!

Also consider directional words. January will be so much more fun when kids get moving and no longer lose a clue of ordinal, cardinal, or directional! Making learning fun and creative seems to help almost any age group.

Turning scavenger hunts into educational ideas may surprise you! Why not welcome your young students to school with this version of a scavenger hunt idea? By now, you are deeply familiar with the writing requirements for kindergarteners if you are a teacher in the public school system.

Keep it fun and active with scavenger hunts and scavenger hunts in the classroom and at home. Have a party? This is also a great way to incorporate learning into the image of a birthday or holiday party.

Remember: try working with a small group to engage young students in a conversation about cardinal numbers in your search.
