After creating a class map with the children, use it to lead them on a treasure hunt. Have the children cover their eyes while you hide a few objects, such as marbles or small plastic animals, in different locations in the classroom. Return to the map and point to one location where children can hunt for the treasure. Have children point to the location in the classroom, and then send two or three children to find the treasure. Take turns so that everyone is able to look for a treasure. This could be done in large group.
