Computer Lab Scavenger Hunt

I thought it might be fun to do a familiar activity (scavenger hunt) as a way to introduce students to the computer lab! Everyone has a slightly different setup, so the table is completely editable and I provided 4 different layout options.

Why Do My Students Need a Computer Scavenger Hunt?

Why spend the first couple of months having your students interrupt your lessons to ask where to find the supplies they need? Having a materials orientation at the beginning of the school year may seem tedious, but it will ultimately save you time and sanity. What’s more, with this scavenger hunt you can make sure your students actually pay attention during it!

Tips for Teachers

Laminate one class set of scavenger hunt sheets, then have students use dry erase markers to complete the activity.
Rather than having students simply check off if they found an item, try getting them to actually write down a sentence describing the location.
If you think things will be too chaotic with each member of the class doing the scavenger hunt at once, you have other options.
- Split the class into teams.
- Have students complete the scavenger hunt as a secondary activity after they complete another technology activity. Since students will probably finish at different times, this should stagger their start times for the scavenger hunt.
