Indoor school scavenger hunt ideas
A hallway-and-classroom hunt is a fast way to run an orientation day, library scavenger hunt, or end-of-term activity without leaving the building — and it doubles as a genuinely useful way to get new students to actually explore the campus.
- ·Hide a code inside a specific library book or behind the trophy case — it gets students into corners of the building they'd otherwise skip.
- ·Ask staff and teachers to supply one fact or story each for the quiz-style tasks — it's free content and it's genuinely more interesting than made-up trivia.
- ·Keep noise-heavy tasks (video, group photos) to common areas, not active classrooms.
1. What's the event?
2. Indoor or outdoor?
