Internet Scavenger Hunts For Education And Fun

Internet scavenger hunts are a fun way to surf the net and discover new and interesting sites. They are also a great educational tool and are widely used by schools to make learning fun.

There are numerous internet scavenger hunts available on the web. Math, science, geography and zoology hunts are readily available, as well as many others too numerous to mention. Teachers create them for their students, companies create them to promote their products, and webmasters post them on their blogs and websites to challenge and entertain their visitors.

What is the appeal of these scavenger hunts?
1. They combine the thrill of the hunt with modern technology.
2. They can be played anytime and anywhere there is a computer with a connection to the web.
3. They are varied and allow for any number of players (play with friends or play alone).
4. They are often educational, but always just plain fun.

Internet scavenger hunts can be as intricate as teaching computer functions (ie. copying images and downloading files), or as simple as clicking on a link for the answer to a question. For some hunts the reward is new found knowledge and for others it is the chance to win great prizes.

So, if you come across one of these hunts while you're surfing, consider giving it a try. Better yet, don't wait till you come across one, hunt one down. I, for one, have discovered amazing sites and learned valuable information on my trips around the net via internet scavenger hunts.

Find an internet scavenger hunt that appeals to you and make time to tour the net... learn, play, discover... travel has never been so affordable.
