This ‘Treasure Hunt’ has 10 nature-themed colour picture cards that can be hidden in your school’s garden, the playground, classroom or even at home for remote learning.
Each picture is associated with a letter of the alphabet and these are also provided on colour cards.
Sheet 1 provides simple rhymes that gives children clues into the location of the picture cards. To challenge the children even more and also adding a bit of a twist, the letter cards aren’t always the initial sounds of the pictures, thus, the letter ‘O’ might lead children to a snail!
Sheet 2 can be used for children to mark off when they find the picture cards and / or children can use this black and white sheet to label and colour in pictures.
There are 2 colour cards to each page which can be enlarged / laminated, if needed.
The resource uses symbols and is suitable of EYFS, KS1 and SEND pupils.
