Measurement Scavenger hunt - STEM activity for kids


Scavenger hunt is in our latest hit list😀. Walking around with a clipboard and pencil is so much fun. Scavenger hunt hones children working as a team, reading skills and analyzing skills.We started with a simpler one, the shapes scavenger hunt for my little ones. Recently LO got much interested in using measuring tape so I planned for this measurement scavenger hunt. We did two versions, one for my LO who is right now in his first grade and another one for my niece who is a 4th grader(which I will be posting sooner). Here the kids get introduced with the concepts of centimetre and inches.We used both flexible and retractable measuring tapes. Obviously the kids loved the retractable one.
For LO I prepared a list of items to be measured. It turned out to be a team work, LO did all the measuring work and his sister helped him with the writing part😍. It was a complete fun and kept the kids busy for quite sometime. 

This is the list I prepared...


Door's breadth..


Fire truck...


His own height...


Writing board..


Mobile..


Cycle's seat...


TV's height...


Sofa's height...



Car's mirror...


This is the list I prepared for your reference. Measure the length of 
1. Pencil
2. Door - Breadth
3. Fire truck
4. My height
5. Writing board
6. Mobile
7. Car seat
8. TV height
9. Sofa height
10. Car mirror
