During the month of February, young students are learning about Black history with an interactive challenge called the Black History Month Scavenger Game.
Each day, classroom teachers receive three envelopes with clues about a celebrated Black American. After the name of the person is revealed, the class searches for a photo of that person in the halls. Next to each photo is a QR code, which the teacher scans to access a video about the person to show students when they return to their classroom.
“It’s a fun way to introduce students to great Black Americans such as Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., President Barack Obama, and young poet Amanda Gorman,” said Heights School Principal Mary Wood. “The children really enjoy learning how they lived and the achievements they made, and the game makes for a great team-building exercise.”
