What's In Your Booksack?

This booksack scavenger hunt is great for a fun Friday or that time in the semester when your middle school students need to clean out and throw out! The list could be adjusted to meet the needs of a younger elementary student. I created this list after years of experience in middle school and the "stuff" that finds its way inside of a bookbag.

Enjoy!
