If you teach Social Studies or Geography, why not go on a mass scavenger hunt. If you have a few GPS devices handy, that is.

Geocaching is a worldwide scavenger hunt done using a global positioning system receiver. You can look up cordinates online and then plug them into your GPS and go hiking. It would be neat to have your class split into groups, each group hiding a cache for others to seek.

Usually, caches consist of a tiny waterproof container and often a logbook. The “treasure” inside might be a dollar store item or similar small toy of no real value.

So grab that GPS from your vehicle dashboard and go for some physical activity in the nearby park!
