May Reading Comprehension Scavenger Hunt & Coded Message Activities
$12
Meet the Seller
Liven up your May with this bundle of No-Prep Reading Comprehension Scavenger Hunt activities for the entire month of May!
It is the perfect way to continue to hone your students' skills in finding text evidence in non-fiction & fiction texts.
Included in the bundle are:
- ✅ Star Wars Day,
- ✅ Cinco de Mayo,
- ✅ Kentucky Derby,
- ✅ Mother's Day,
- ✅ and Memorial Day!
Each activity within the bundle includes:
This interactive, engaging activity is a reading comprehension activity in disguise! Students will be given a mission to decode a secret message, but to do that- they must read all 10 reading passage cards and FIND the answers that will help them decode the message!
This is perfect for third - fifth graders! I have them work in small groups to make it even more fun. Second graders may need help at first, just until they get the hang of where to write their answers for the decoded message. Fourth and fifth graders should be able to rock this as an independent activity!
Enjoy this No-Prep Month of May Reading Comprehension Scavenger Hunt activities and take a few moments for yourself while the students are having fun!
HOW IT WORKS:
- ⭐️ A “secret mission” is read, and students choose a card to start at.
- ⭐️ It does NOT matter what card students begin at because the order of completion does not matter.
- ⭐️ The "code word" question on their card will lead them to a different card to find the answer.
- ⭐️ They will then record their answer on the answer sheet.
- ⭐️ They will continue until all "code word" questions have been found and entered on the Answer Sheet.
- ⭐️ Then, looking at the answer sheet, the students will pull all the letters that are in shaded boxes and unscramble them to decipher the Secret Code!
- ⭐️ All you have to do is print the reading cards and answer sheet and cut them in half!

Hi, I’m Kim! I’m an educator with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Elementary Education and more than 30 years of classroom experience.
I started The Literature Lady because I wanted to make reading come alive for students—and make lesson planning a lot easier for teachers. I create resources that were way too time-consuming to create while teaching full-time, so that now you don’t have to! My passion is creating engaging, low-prep resources, such as novel studies, Word Noodle vocabulary games, and reader’s theatre scripts, that help kids fall in love with books while building real skills.
When I’m not writing or designing new lessons, you’ll find me teaching right here on the TeacherStore.io community platform! The Young Scholar Academy is an online small group learning community that teaches homeschool students in grades 1-8. We teach core classes, electives, one-on-one tutoring, and so much more! As Tiffany would say, "Come for the classes, stay for the community!"
I am also a fun of reading, baking, traveling, or hanging out with my husband, our two college-aged sons, and our dogs, Maisie and Sophie.
