TREASURE HUNT...
…TO KNOW WHAT’S UNDERNEATH!
EDUCATIONAL SCOPE AND CONTENT
Science, Environmental Education.
Soil: what it is, who inhabits it, what risks it faces, what services it performs.
The poultry supply chain: raising chickens, consumption of chicken meat, hen biodiversity, labeling of eggs,
chicken nutrition, elements of ethology.
GOALS
To make people think about the fact that the food we eat comes from the soil. The element that can help this
conceptual connection is the chicken: she eats the plants and small animals (the earthworm) that live in the soil,
and we eat the chicken.
Acquire information about soil, chickens and hens, so as to build awareness with respect to protecting the soil
and food choices.
Observing and experimenting in the field
Observe significant moments in the life of plants and animals.
Observe, with outdoor outings, the characteristics of soils. Learn about soil structure by experimenting with
rocks, stones and soils; observe the characteristics of water and its role in the environment.
People, living beings and the environment
Recognize through the experience of growing crops, raising animals, etc., that the life of every organism is
related to other and different forms of life.
RECIPIENTS
Children and youths 8 years of age and older
DURATION
The Treasure Hunt lasts about 1h30’
PREPARATION AND PLANNING
The game can be realized to the extent that there is a class prepared on the topics covered by the Treasure
Hunt.
To prepare the pupils:
- read some fascinating stories about the soil and where food begins on FAO’s World Soil Day book contest
page https://www.fao.org/world-soil-day/contests/children-booklet-contest-2022/en/ “
- read in a well-reasoned way the insights on soil collected at the bottom of the sheet (see Appendices 1
through 8) and the insights found on the soilcircle.it webapp;
- Devote a few moments of study to the topic of the poultry supply chain, presented in the insights collected at
the bottom of the sheet (see Appendices 9 to 18).
At this point, the teacher can choose whether to have the Treasure Hunt conducted only by class members or whether to propose the activity to other classes in the school. In the latter case, the other classes do not have to prepare, it will be their classmates who will provide them with the necessary information for the activity. The treasure hunt consists of 7 steps that must be distributed in various spaces in the school, each of which must be managed by at least 2 pupils: 0_ DEPARTURE - in the classroom -> explanation of the game 1_ THE GARDEN -> in the vegetable garden, if available in the space reserved for herbs -> short sensory exercise 2_ THE SOIL -> in the schoolyard, where the soil is (if desired also in the vegetable garden) -> activities about animals that live in the soil 3_ SOIL SERVICES -> in the schoolyard, where the soil is (if desired also in the vegetable garden) -> activities on the services of soil ecosystem 4_ THE EARTHWORM -> in the schoolyard, where the soil is (if desired also in the vegetable garden) -> knowledge of earthworms 5_ THE CHICKEN -> in the cafeteria or in a space of your choice -> game about the biodiversity of chickens 6_ THE EGGS (coinciding with arrival) - in the classroom -> play on the chickens’ verses and conclusion of the activity. The small group of up to 5 pupils, playing the treasure hunt must have a phone or a tablet connected to the network. If the steps are spaced far enough apart, multiple groups of up to 5 pupils can play the treasure hunt at the same time, as long as they start in a staggered manner, i.e., the second group must leave at the time when the first has passed step 3 and is moving on to step 4. It is recommended to try the web app at least twice with pupils before implementing the treasure hunt. To do the test it is necessary to print out the markers and cut them out, so as to frame one at a time (if framed together they will not work). To prepare the activities to be carried out in the steps: - step 4: Look for earthworms in the vegetable garden or fields, place them in a container that is sufficiently moist and aerated the day before the treasure hunt; - step 5: Equip yourself with a rubber band or string, print out the sheet with the illustration of the hens and the respective names breeds (refer to the teaching sheet “Guess which hen you are!”), have several empty packages of eggs on which are labeled (eggs from different types of farms); - step 6: Equip yourself with an external speaker or amplifier to which you can connect your cell phone or tablet Use the white cardstock on hand to draw and cut out a rosette with the words “Expert of soil and chickens.” Make as many rosettes as the number of pupils who will play the Treasure Hunt treasure. A safety pin must be found for each rosette.
EDUCATIONAL AND CONSUMABLE MATERIALS
In the kit you will find:
• 6-step marker signs, to be scanned by pupils with a phone or a tablet in order to proceed to next step
1_ Step “the vegetable garden”
2_ Step “the soil”
3_ Step “the services of the soil”
4_ Step “the earthworm”
5_ Step “the chicken”
6_ Step “the eggs,” which coincides with the arrival
• 11 drawings of chickens
Also required:
• Each group of pupils participating in the treasure hunt needs a phone or tablet connected to the internet,
essential for scanning the markers and solving the games.
• A few jars of herbs (optional, see below directions for the step “THE GARDEN”)
• A container, perforated at the top, to house earthworms
• Several packs of eggs
• A speaker box
• The white cardboard needed to make as many rosettes as the number of pupils who will play the Treasure Hunt.
• Safety pins in the same number as the players
• The packet of corn for making popcorn (optional, can be the final prize with which to reward the work of
the pupils in the class that organized and ran the Treasure Hunt)
SETTING
Conduct the activity in the spaces provided by the school, making sure that the steps are sufficiently distant
from each other so as to ensure that pupils are able to listen to each other without shouting.
The starting and finishing classrooms can be the same, as long as the spaces allocated to the two steps are
differentiated. Each step is marked by the appropriate A3 card, folded in two so that it stands alone.
DESCRIPTION
The game consists of a treasure hunt that takes place partly in presence (through the use of the web app)
partly online and aims to learn more about the soil and the poultry supply chain.
The group playing the activity must follow the directions they find on the web app and those provided by their
peers in the presence.
DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTURE
Pupils explain how the Treasure Hunt works: it is a route that runs throughout the school. At each step there is
an activity to do, online or in-person. One moves from one step to the next only after solving a game or riddle,
the solution to which indicates what the next step is. In some steps you move on to the next one with the help
of a code, provided by the pupils present in the step.
Only after this explanation pupils can have a link http://soilcircle.it/_tappa_0_en/index.html, which logs them
into the web app and allows them to start the game. After solving the riddle, players must go to the space
where the herbs are located, the vegetable garden!

THE GARDEN.
Here pupils ask players to recognize 3 or 4 herbs found in the vegetable garden or pot. Only after doing so do
pupils frame the step marker and players can move on to the riddle that will take them to the soil step.

Il suolo è una grande riserva di biodiversità: 2/3 di tutte
le specie viventi vivono sotto la sua superficie. Il terreno
fornisce i nutrienti e l’acqua necessari per produrre il
cibo; filtra l’acqua piovana e la rimette in circolo pulita
e potabile. Gioca un ruolo importante anche nella
mitigazione della crisi climatica, grazie alla sua capacità
di immagazzinare carbonio. I suoli hanno composizioni
differenti in base alla loro origine e alla loro evoluzione.
The soil is a massive reserve of biodiversity, containing
two thirds of all living species. The land provides the
nutrients and the water necessary for food production,
filtering rainwater and putting it back into circulation. It
plays an important role in the mitigation of the climate
crisis, thanks to its capacity to store carbon. Soils have
different compositions depending on their origin and

CHI ABITA
IL SUOLO?
WHO LIVES
IN THE SOIL?
Il suolo è abitato da una comunità di organismi viventi,
classificati per dimensione (si va dai minuscoli batteri fino
alle talpe). Questi organismi interagiscono tra di loro e
funzionano come sistemi che decompongono la sostanza
organica fino alla produzione di humus, elemento nutritivo
assimilabile dalle piante e indispensabile per la loro crescita.
The soil is inhabited by a community of organisms of
varying size, from invisible bacteria to small mammals,
like moles. These organisms interact with each other and
together decompose organic substances to create humus,
the nutrient-rich matter which is essential for plants to grow.
In un ettaro di suolo
(non cementificato e non degradato,
ad esempio un prato) vivono fino a:
In a hectare of healthy soil (for example
on a pasture) you can find as much as:
1.000 kg di lombrichi 1.000 kg di artropodi e alghe
1,000 kg of worms 1,000 kg of arthropods and algae
2.700 kg di funghi Mammiferi come le talpe
2,700 kg of fungi Small mammals, like moles
1.700 kg di batteri In un solo grammo di suolo
1,700 kg of bacteria troviamo fino a 1 miliardo di batteri!

IL RAPPORTO TRA
NOI E IL SUOLO
OUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE SOIL
I fattori principali che determinano il microbiota intestinale
sono di natura genetica, ma i fattori legati alla dieta e allo
stile di vita sono altrettanto importanti, poiché la comunità
microbica intestinale è altamente dinamica e i microrganismi
possono essere assorbiti dal cibo, dall’acqua e dall’ambiente
circostante. Da questo punto di vista il rapporto tra l’essere
umano e il suolo risulta fondamentale.
The main factors that determine our intestinal microbiota
are genetic, but our diet and lifestyle are still important, as
the microbial community in our intestines is highly dynamic:
we can absorb microorganisms from the food we eat, the
water we drink and the air we breathe. From this point of
view, our relationship with the soil is of vital importance.APPENDIX 7
AMICI DELLE CITTÀ,
NUTRIAMOCI DI
CIBO VERO
FRIENDS OF THE CITY,
LET’S EAT REAL FOOD!
Il nesso tra il microbiota intestinale e la vitalità microbica
del suolo è dimostrato dalla maggiore ricchezza di specie
batteriche intestinali che si riscontra nelle società rurali
rispetto alle comunità urbane. Ma l’agricoltura intensiva,
contraddistinta dalla monocoltura e dal ricorso alla
chimica di sintesi, riduce la biodiversità del suolo anche
nelle aree rurali, provocando carenze di micronutrienti nella
dieta e un’alterazione del microbiota umano.
The link between our intestinal microbiota and the microbial
vitality of the soil is demonstrated by the greater richness
of bacterial species we find in the intestinal microbiota
of rural communities compared to city dwellers. But
intensive agriculture, marked by monocultures, chemical
inputs, reduces soil biodiversity in rural areas too,
leading to a shortage of micronutrients in our diets and,
consequently, changes to our microbiota.APPENDIX 8

Il guscio delle uova ha tre strati: la parte più esterna
si chiama cuticola e poi ci sono due membrane dette
testacee (una esterna e una interna): il guscio non
è solo bianco o rosa ma può essere azzurro o verde.
E quanto è grande un uovo? Dipende! Lo si classifica
per dimensioni: Small; Medium; Large e Extralarge. Cuticola

The shell of an egg has three layers. The outermost Membrana interna

layer, the cuticle, protects two testaceous membranes,
one outer and one inner. Eggshells can be white or pink, Membrana esterna

How big is an egg? It depends! They are usually classified
by size: small, medium, large and extra-large.
Il bello di viaggiare è ampliare i propri orizzonti
gastronomici e conoscere nuove abitudini alimentari,
nuovi sapori... non si mangiano solo le uova del pollame
ma anche uova di altre specie:
One of the beauties of travelling and learning about other
cultures lies in broadening our gastronomic horizons and
discovering new food habits and new flavors. Around the
world, eggs not just of poultry but also other species are
considered delicacies:

LA CAFFETTERIA
DELLE GALLINE
A CAFETERIA FOR CHICKENS
Polli e galline sono onnivori. Amano razzolare cercando
insetti e larve e becchettare le granaglie (grano, orzo,
mais) e mangiano anche l’erba dei pascoli e gli scarti
vegetali (verdure, frutti,..).
Le leguminose sono importanti ma non devono prevalere
nel loro menù. Purtroppo, nell’allevamento intensivo
l’alimentazione è addizionata di elementi nutritivi che
accelerano la crescita e incrementano la produzione
di uova.
Chickens are omnivores. They love scratching around
in search of insects and larvae and pecking at grains
(wheat, barley, corn) and they also eat grass and other
plants in the fields and fruit and vegetable scraps.
Legumes are an important part of their diet but shouldn’t
dominate their menu. Unfortunately, in factory farms the
chickens’ diet is boosted with nutrients that accelerate
their growth and increase their egg production.

Animal welfare comes from respect for their behavioral

why it’s important for farmers to be able to work in healthy
conditions and receive fair wages. This holistic approach is

farming with diets packed with grains and particularly
