Fact Monster hunts make great assignments for students to complete at home. Even better, they are a nice activity for parents and children to complete together. It's a good quality-time activity and a good alternative to TV watching. Parents and children will learn together as they respond to the weekly questions; some questions might even motivate families to explore and learn more about topics. In addition, doing the Fact Monster as homework provides an opportunity for parents to teach their children about using key words to search; skimming for information; and surfing the Internet safely.

Answers to most questions on the hunt activity sheets can be found using encyclopedia and other resources that many families have access to at home or in a local library.
