The First Amendment Scavenger Hunt Challenge allows students to move around the classroom while reading passages and answering questions. Great addition to your U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights unit plans. The activity is structured as a cake bake-off where students determine the missing ingredients of a recipe. You can use the 1st Amendment activity as an introduction or review activity. The 1st Amendment 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 First Amendment 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: 1st Amendment, freedoms of speech, religion, assembly, press and petition
