Name an island nation in Europe?  What are the names of the 7 major seas surrounding Europe?   Which nations lie within the Arctic Circle?

To find the answers to these geography questions (and more!), we are going to go on a scavenger hunt. A scavenger hunt is a game in which we look for a list of items and the first person/team to find everything on the list is the winner. The twist to our game is that everything that is on this list can be found on a map of Europe. So we are going to go on a map hunt! We will search all over the map to find different features in the European countries and then record our findings on the activity sheet.  First person, group, or team to answer all the questions using the map as a reference wins!

What You Will Need:

  • A reference map of Europe, one per person or group
  • Map Scavenger Hunt Items
  • Map Scavenger Hunt Answer Key
  • Pencil
