Below is an example of a Scavenger Hunt I used a couple of years ago.
Notice the "A" I made an "A" version, a "B"" version and a "C" version with
similar choices so that students were spread out.  On the other side of the
hunt I have a map of the media center with a list place names.  The students
have to label their map before starting on the hunt.
