A-Z Quest Games for Learning Fun
 |
Go Questing to learn about all kinds of neat and exciting things!
Join us on a learning quest for all ages!! Research and find information on selected topics using the letters of the alphabet as acronymic helpers.
This has proven to be a fun way to cultivate research skills among our children. This activity builds skills such as:
Choosing appropriate research resources
Performing internet searches
Reading for content or skimming for details
Using the public library resources independently
Using an encyclopedia and many more
Questing is easy. Simply choose a topic and fill in a word or phrase for each letter of the alphabet that goes with the topic criteria. We do not provide the answers as many times there can be more than one answer and we don't want to limit players in their thinking, creativity or researching abilities.
Learners can play alone or in teams and keep track of who gets the most letters or play for points using the point gauge below. You can score sheets for fun or learner challenges based on how many words are found. Just follow this simple point scale based on words beginning with the following letters:
A-Z Quest Sheets Point Scale
AEIOUW = 1 point
DHLNRST = 2 points
CFGMPVJK = 3 points
QXYZ = 4 points
Total score for a fully completed A-Z Quest is 60pts.*
*Note: You may decide that extra points can be given for more than one answer in a letter. Establish rules at the beginning of each quest and feel free to make changes subsequent quests as research skills improve.
