Vocabulary Treasure Hunt

In this engaging vocabulary activity, students read a story about a boy discovering a treasure map and must determine the meanings of bolded words using context clues. Each word-such as fragile, dense, and peculiar-is used in a meaningful sentence, allowing learners to infer definitions. Students write their interpretations and circle clues that guided them, building both critical reading and word-analysis skills. The adventure-themed passage keeps students motivated while reinforcing vocabulary comprehension in context.
