Earth Day Scavenger Hunt for BC Schools

Earth Day Scavenger Hunt for BC Elementary School Classrooms

This Earth Day, Thursday April 22, 2010, between 9am and 2pm, EcoBuddies is challenging BC Elementary School classrooms to a Scavenger Hunt that focuses on Endangered Animals! Use one or several computers to log into EcoBuddies (www.ecobuddies.com) with your classroom and search the green-inspired world of EcoBuddies for answers to the clues listed below. Teachers, please email your answers to support@ecobuddies.com with the name of your school and grade of your class.

FIRST PRIZE: The classroom that emails the correct answers to the clues first will get a $150 gift certificate to a bookstore of their choice!

SECOND PRIZE: The classroom that correctly answers the clues in second place will receive a $50 gift certificate to a bookstore of their choice!

PARTICIPATION PRIZE: Each classroom that participates will get EcoBuddies posters and stickers for their classroom.

Answers to the clues will be distributed throughout the EcoBuddies world on April 22, 2010 (not before this date). Look for the animals that match the clues, click on the animal, and get the information needed to answer the clue. Note: For time's sake, no answers will be in the Eco-Explorer's Hut due to the large amount of school content classroom's would have to go through within the hut.

If you do not have time to create log-in accounts for yourself of your class please email EcoBuddies at support@ecobuddies.com or call us at 604-568-5189 and we will make up ten accounts for you.

2. In 25 mya (like, a long time ago, like THOUSANDS of years ago) there were 5 foot penguins! Ah!
3. Both mom and dad penguins take care of baby chicks, keeping them warm and snuggled in a pouch by their feet.
