Education through Exploration
How can we teach high school kids about History, Culture, Environmentalism and Art, without making them roll their eyes in boredom?
Scavenger Hunts, of course!
Out of the Box Events offers exciting, educational scavenger hunts that showcase the history and culture of Los Angeles.
The scavenger hunts are based on the U.S. Department of Education National Standards for Social Studies and the National Standards for Arts Education. The fun-filled 90-minute adventures promote extensive comprehension strategies and community building activities including decision-making and analysis, chronological and critical thinking skills, problem solving, collaboration, time management and reading comprehension.
Out of the Box Events has several different student hunts throughout Los Angeles. Our two most popular choices are Hidden Hollywood, an exciting look into the epicenter of arts and entertainment and The Secrets of Santa Monica, which delves into the rich history and ecology of this seaside town. In addition, we can help groups create a customized adventure based on their choice of location, theme and length.
Barbara Gordon of Helen Bernstein High said, “This was such a hit. The scavenger hunt created its own rhythm and engaged every student. It is a win win for everyone. I have never seen the kids so happy on a field trip!”
Out of the Box Events will work with your group to ensure a fantastic time in Los Angeles. We can help groups find unique performance spaces throughout the city. In addition, we can add on fun, interactive elements to the hunt. For example, we create tasks where kids must sing or dance to receive their next clue. We can also include colorful team backpacks, luncheons and/or box lunches.
