Passover Informational Text Reading Comprehension

The Missing Afikomen Mystery Challenge Scavenger Hunt

This fun and engaging cross-curricular reading comprehension activity utilizes multiple close reading strategies as the students rotate through the Reading Cards to find the Code Words to decipher the Mystery Clue Word.

This scavenger hunt has TWO components:

Part 1: The children will read 10 short passages on 10 READING CARDS.

• Each card has a CODE WORD CLUE following the reading passage.
• The answer to the CODE WORD CLUE will be found on another READING CARD. The clue is not answered on the card it is on
• This requires students to read and reread the passages carefully.
• After finding each code word, students must write it on their answer sheet.

Part 2: Using the code words on each clue card, the students will unscramble the letters in the gray-shaded boxes to reveal the final word.

How to Use

• This is great for a whole class activity, or it can be used in centers
• It is designed to get students out of their desks and moving about the room.
• You can use it as an introduction, culminating, or stand-alone activity.
• Just print the Reading Cards and Answer Cards.
• Decide how much time you will give the students to complete the activity. It should take about 45-60 minutes to complete.
