The task of this scavenger hunt is to locate 15 different historical buildings in downtown Regina. At each building students will need to find the name of the building (not the name of businesses in the building), and the date it was built.
This scavenger hunt can be completed 4 different ways. Student can find each location by using a map, addresses, GPS coordinates, or a combination of all 3.
The starting location for this scavenger hunt is the cenotaph in Victoria Park. Divide the class into groups and start each group at a different number. Instruct the groups to do the scavenger hunt clues in numerical order.
