Google Locked Bags- Jazz Up Your Review

Looking to jazz up your end of the year review activities?  How about turning them into a treasure hunt of sorts...learn the lock combination by answering questions and unlock a prize!  All you need is your review sheet, a Google form, some pencil bags filled with prizes, and some locks (or lock boxes if you want to get fancy).
First, put prizes in the pencil bags and lock securely.  Combination locks work best for this activity but you could use keyed locks instead (students have to tell you the combination in order to receive the key).

Next, have the students complete the review activity and enter their answers into a Google form.  If the answers are correct, the form will reveal the combination to the lock.  Once the students have learned the combination, they can unlock the bag to access the prize within!
How does the Google form check student answers?  Use the "Response validation" feature.

One of the great things about this activity is that you can use it at any grade level for any content area.  You can make it as easy or difficult or as long or short as your want.  Plus, differentiating the activity is easy!
