St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunts | Number recognition | 2D Shape

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a fun scavenger hunt that is also aligned to the Australian Curriculum!

Included in this St. Patrick's Day themed scavenger hunts are recording sheets and cards to hide around the classroom or even better around the school! It is low prep and a movement based maths activity.

Choose from...

• numerals 0-10 and 11-20
• word numbers 0-10 and 11-20
• tens frame 0-10 and 11-20
• 2D shapes

Or..

• St. Patrick’s Day picture cards - This one isn't aligned to the curriculum but it is aligned to fun!

Scavenger hunts are great for working with peers or buddies.

Struggling to fit in some St. Patrick's themed activities into the day? I've always found setting up a scavenger hunt at lunch time an exciting experience for the students who wish to participate. It doesn't take much to set up and doesn't need any extra staff to supervise!

This resource supports:

• Number recognition and early number fluency
• Identifying 2D Shapes
• Maths with movement
• Outdoor maths lessons
• Buddy activities and mixed ability groups
• Relief teacher and emergency plans

Designed for repeated use

Print and laminate the cards and store them on a ring for easy access. Use them for daily fluency warm ups or additional 1:1 support. The same cards can then be used for the full scavenger hunt. Introduce numeral cards early in the year, move to ten frames as understanding develops and save number word cards for later in the year.

What’s included

• Numeral cards 0 to 20
• Ten frame cards 0 to 20
• Number word cards 0 to 20
• 2D Shape cards (square, rectangle, circle, triangle, oval, semi circle, rhombus, trapezium, pentagon, hexagon, octagon)
• Student recording sheets

Australian Curriculum alignment
