When I was a kid the last school days before summer usually entailed an academic olympics consisting of scholastic games like history trivia, speed math, 3-legged races, a spelling bee, obstacle courses, science challenges and so forth. In honor of it being the last week of the school year in many cities across the country I’ve compiled a list of classroom scavenger hunt ideas for those teachers who want to go out with a bang. Enjoy!
