These cards use simple words and popular categories, like jokes, frogs, bugs, and magic.

Your students can work individually or in teams to find the matching card on the non-fiction book shelf. Or they can match the card to a book with the same Dewey number. Print them on colorful card stock and laminate them for use year after year. AND you can save them to your Google Drive to share them digitally in future years.

I only used whole numbers, no decimals, on these cards to make them easier for younger students to use and understand.

At our school, I used the printable cards to create a scavenger hunt with first grade students so that they could become familiar with the non-fiction section of our school library before choosing a non-fiction book to check out. This was the kick-off for a study of non-fiction text features.

You can see photos of this scavenger hunt in action on my blog: Library Learners.

Because my customers asked for it, I include QR codes that link to Google Slides with an image of what your students should find. Check out the preview to see a sample!

In the update, I've also added full and half-page recording sheets, so that students can write down the call numbers and subjects that they find. You can give grades and check for understanding.

"This is a fun activity to use! I used it with 1st and 2nd graders to help introduce the non-fiction section. I also ended up using it with 3rd and 4th grade students as a fun review group activity. (I had 3rd and 4th graders write a short review, or summary, about the book selected from that section.) All grades loved this! Thank you!" (Thank you, Alicia P.!)

"Perfect for my second graders and third graders who are still learning Dewey. These cards were also the PERFECT size for little hands and eyes." (Thank you, Buyer!)
