Learning Technique: Hidden Objects

• Lower Secondary (Key Stage 3)
• Upper Secondary (Key Stage 4)

Introduction

There are dozens of apps where players have to search for hidden objects in an environment. It sounds simple, but anyone who has ever searched for 'Hidden objects' knows that it's not that easy.
