MAKING SCAVENGER HUNT CARDS

  • You can make two scavenger hunt cards with one sheet protector.

  • Cut sheet protectors in half.

  • Put a piece of card stock into the sheet protector.

  • Use a sewing machine to create your sections.

  • Print out your clues on labels and affix them onto each section.

  • Use an exacto knife to create a small opening at the back of each section.  This is where the pictures will slip into.
