Calendar/Event Details

The Three Dragons Academy Emerald City History Hunt is officially ON!  The students of Three Dragons Academy have spent all April learning about Seattle history and creating this fabulous treasure hunt through Seattle’s history just for you!!!  

WHAT IT IS: The HISTORY HUNT is an exploration through Seattle’s timeline. It Is designed as a full day, or multi-day, family field trip.  Using art, architecture, parks and people, the students have traveled through time to create this hunt. 

HOW IT WORKS:

1). Go to: www.ThreeDragonsAcademy.com and click on the ‘History Hunt’ button on the homepage. 

2). Read Clue #1; Figure out the location/area, and go there

3). Using the clues, find the poster in the solved locations

4). There, look at the student art, read the student captions, and learn something new about this part of our city!

5). Look around for some of the art or architecture showcased by the student art on the poster

6). At the Bottom of the poster, read the location of the next clue, and go there!

7). Repeat - through Clue # 8.


The CHEAT SHEET gives you ALL the needed info, including exact locations, where to park, where you might find bathrooms, etc.


Recommended (Parents):

Read the Cheat Sheet yourself, so you can plan your field trip; but read only the CLUES to your children.  Give as many hints as they need to keep the day successful and fun, and to keep everyone excited about learning. 

 

— Heads Up!  You will be traversing the entire city!  It may end up being a 2 or even 3 day adventure and that’s ok!

— Make sure to look ahead (on the CHEAT SHEET) to plan your route, especially in neighborhoods you’re unfamiliar with!!

— Bring with you: a beach towel, a toy boat and some cash for parking & snacks!!

Whatever you decide, we hope this adventure is a blast because History Matters, Learning is Fun, and Knowledge is Power!
