Summer Scavenger Hunt | End of the Year Activity

Learners circulate among classmates to find peers who match a grid of summer-oriented statements, then record a name in the printable version. The digital layout replaces each name box with space for a typed name or inserted picture. Prompts span travel, hobbies, reading, recreation, pets, and anticipation for the next school year, keeping the conversation centered on classmates rather than factual recall. The activity combines a seasonal icebreaker with listening and peer interaction.
