"Alphabet and Number Treasure Hunt" (Age: Kindergarten - 1st Grade)

Objective:
Students will practice letter recognition, phonics, counting, and simple problem-solving by engaging in a treasure hunt using the rug’s squares as clues.

Materials Needed:

• The Sequential Seating Rug
• Small "treasure" items (could be stickers, small toys, or tokens)
• Clue cards for letters and numbers
• A small box or container for the treasure

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Place a small treasure item under or near specific squares on the rug.
   • Prepare a set of clue cards, each one referencing a specific letter, number, or image on the rug. For example, “Find the square with the buzzing insect!” (for "B" and the bee).

2. Step 1: Introduce the Treasure Hunt

   • Explain to the students that they are going on a treasure hunt! You’ll give them clues, and they need to figure out which square on the rug the clue refers to.

3. Step 2: The Hunt Begins

   • Call out a clue that corresponds to one of the squares on the rug.
     • For example, “I’m thinking of a letter that comes after A and sounds like ‘buh’!” (Answer: B).
     • Or, “Find the number that comes after 3 but before 5!” (Answer: 4).

4. Step 3: Searching and Discovering

   • The student who correctly identifies the letter, number, or object from the clue can go to that square to check for a treasure.
   • If they find the treasure, they can bring it back to their seat and the next clue is given.
   • If the treasure isn’t there, another student has a chance to guess.

5. Step 4: Incorporate Phonics and Counting

   • For additional fun, ask the students to say the sound of the letter or count up to the number they’ve found before they check for treasure.
   • For example: “Can you count to 4 before checking the square?”

6. Step 5: Team Play

   • For larger groups, you can turn it into a team activity. Split the class into two teams, and whichever team finds the most treasures wins a special reward (like extra playtime or a class sticker).

Bonus Activity: You can also create more challenging clues for older students by adding riddles or making them solve basic math problems to unlock the next clue. For example, “What is 3 + 2? Now find the square with that number!”

This treasure hunt keeps students active and engaged while they practice letters, numbers, and thinking skills. Plus, the excitement of finding treasure adds a fun and rewarding twist!
