Like previous scavenger hunts shared on this site, On the Hunt for Maggie O’Brady is an educational virtual field trip that includes a mystery element: Maggie goes on a trip around the world and is now missing.
Students gather information as they retrace her journey via Google Earth, and then solve a puzzle and a riddle in order to locate Maggie.
HERE are the student sheets and THIS LINK will take you to the hunt!
This activity may take up to an hour and is recommended for students in grades 4 and up as an incentive to create their own or to provide a brief break from other studies.
