Web Scavenger Hunt

I used the Discovery Education Puzzle Maker to create a web scavenger hunt and criss cross for the Transcontinental Railroad.  I have used this site before and believe it to be on of the better free puzzle makers around.  That being said, I often have trouble with formatting.  When I print the puzzle off the website it is often split on two pages, and I am forced to Frankenstein then photocopy my puzzle together.  It is still far more convenient than creating my own from scratch.

I do like the idea of assigning a web scavenger hunt to introduce a topic.  Not only does it require students to think about the content, but it also gives those with limited internet experience practice using search engines, the back button, and the find features on the computer.
