Community Scavengar Hunt

View My Saved Places in a larger map


 Students in the community based vocational education class at my school do a lot of work with independence and acclimation with mobility within the city.

This assignment allows students to become more comfortable finding destinations within the comfort of the school. This is a good introduction activity before they make their way within the actual community.

Students would be given a list of destinations they need to find and mark them on the Google Map. They would then need to answer (based on the starting point of the school or their home) how many miles it is and the names of the streets from starting point to destination.

This is the example used in the embedded Google Map above.
1. Bus Station
2. Local College
3. Hospital
4. Library
5. Grocery Store
6. Public Utulities
7. Cell Phone Store (use the company that you go with if you have a cell phone)
8. Park
