Treasure Hunt <http://www.cyberjourneys.net/books/englishatwork/treasurehunt.htm> -- An Internet Treasure Hunt is a fun game to play that will test your ability to find information on the Internet.  To win the game, you must find the answers to questions by searching for them on the Internet.  This game is great for practicing how to use search engines!  Choose the level and subject that you want to try.  (The EASY levels have suggested URL's where you can find the answers.)   Compete against your classmates to see who can find the answers the fastest, or you may want to put a time limit on the game.  The winner would then be the person (or team) who gets the most correct answers within the time limit.
