Scavenger Hunt Bundle | Vocab Learning Games

/


Build a consistent, engaging routine for vocabulary, phonics, movement, and early writing with this Vocabulary & Phonics Scavenger Hunt Bundle. This comprehensive bundle includes 20 themed packets and is designed to give teachers and parents an easy, repeatable way to support vocabulary with minimal prep. Simply print and go—perfect for busy classrooms and homeschool settings.

Created for Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade learners, this resource follows a predictable scavenger hunt format that helps students feel engaged. Kids move around, read and say words aloud, and record their learning through age-appropriate writing activities—keeping them active and focused. 

This bundle works as a complete activity system. The same routine can be reused across different themes, skill levels, and throughout the entire school year, making it ideal for centers, morning work, small groups, early finishers, or literacy rotations. It’s a flexible, low-prep solution that grows with your students while keeping instruction simple and effective.


How the System Works
Each scavenger hunt follows the same simple instructional flow:

Hide → Find → Record
  • Teachers hide the scavenger hunt cards around the classroom, learning center, or outdoor space
  • Students move around to find the cards and say the vocabulary word
  • Students record their answers using a worksheet that matches their current skill level
Because the routine stays consistent, students quickly understand expectations, allowing teachers to easily differentiate without re-teaching directions.
