guiding students through the challenges and presenting them with clues for their next adventure.
Additionally, language teachers can infuse the activity with language specific steps to offer an excellent
opportunity for language practice.

student group participating in the activity.

Select or create images of Mojo to be hidden around the school. Each group should have a
unique image for them to find.

Collaborate with other teachers and administrators to create short "quests" or challenges that
will provide students with the next clue as they progress through the scavenger hunt (See
student instructions for examples and edit as needed).

Explain the purpose of the activity, emphasising the importance of teamwork and
problem-solving skills.

they will find their first Mojo image.

Step 4: The Scavenger Hunt Quests

As students progress through the scavenger hunt, they will encounter short "quests" prepared
by other teachers/administrators. These quests should challenge students to solve puzzles,
answer riddles, or complete fun tasks to receive their next clue.

celebratory moment.
