Bill of Rights Scavenger Hunt - Task Cards - Amendments 1-10 - Constitution

The Bill of Rights Scavenger Hunt can be used as an introduction or review activity. You can use the Bill of Rights activity as task cards, a scavenger hunt or both. Students will learn about each of the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights and a little history about the writing of the amendments. The Scavenger Hunt is designed so that students must visit each of the ten Bill of Rights Fact Cards! That means they have to read the small passage or skim for details multiple times! Students will use non-fiction social studies content to practice reading skills, improve fluency, reading comprehension and use context clues. Also included are 10 ideas for how to use task cards! The possibilities are endless for this cross-curriculum Bill of Rights activity!

This Bill of Rights activity can be used as task cards for partner activities, SCOOT activities, scavenger hunts, anticipatory sets, unit review, sub plans, stations, or independent work. How you choose to set it up in your classroom is up to you J There are so many possibilities that allow students to be out of their seats, moving around the room and learning!
