    Children like to be surprised. Teacher explains that the lesson has to be 'unlocked' and for that, students have to solve a Sudoku puzzle in groups of three. They have to pay attention to time. Each group will receive a badge stating their position (1st, 2nd. 3rd or 4th). This will determine the order for the treasure hunt activity.

    Teacher explains that some items of a toy house were previously hidden in the playground. Students, in groups of 3, have to search for them using the coordinates provided. If Geocaching is too difficult it can also be done without using Geocaching. The teacher can then prepare a treasure map. Each group leaves the classroom in the order established in the Sudoku game, according to the badge each group received.

    After the treasure hunt, the class comes together again. Each group shows what was found and the objects are sorted in categories (also with the help of flashcards): kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and dining room. Each group receives 10 points for each item that was found. Teacher checks if the words for the parts of the house were understood.
Notes:
You need to hide small pieces of toy furniture in the playground and mark their location.
