October 2020 Game Library Updates

K-12 Educators Oct 4, 2020

The school year is already flashing by as we enter into October!

Now that you’ve gotten to know each one of your new students, get them even more engaged in the learning by sending them on a collaborative scavenger hunt! Support your instruction of the water cycle and make your students feel like scientists themselves with the new “Water Cycle Scientists” hunt. Trying to teach students about survival in various climates and environments? Test their knowledge of important supplies to bring by placing them on a pretend deserted island with “Creating Civilizations!” Assess students' knowledge and understanding of text with “Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird Review” hunt.

Engage virtual students learning from home in an interactive and exciting scavenger hunt with our new “Marvellous Remote Learning Mission” hunt. Finally, let’s not forget about Halloween! Students are excited and looking forward to dressing up in their favourite costumes. Have a little fun at school with our “Halloween Haunt” hunt!

New to Goosechase and wondering how an interactive scavenger hunt would be beneficial to student learning? Check out our “Goosechase for Student Engagement” game and see what it is all about!
