My first day of school is near and I must come prepared
I've got a list of school supplies to get, no items spared
Having the essentials is the key to school success
And every student needs them to learn and progress

It's a scavenger hunt for school supplies that I need
Pens and pencils to write with and some new books to read
Just take them off one by one
Who knew shopping for school could be so fun

First item on the list, time to get a backpack
I can get one with wheels or a sling across my back
I need something to hold all my school supplies
Not too big or small, oh, here's the perfect size

It's a scavenger hunt for school supplies that I need
Pens and pencils to write with and some new books to read
Just take them off one by one
Who knew shopping for school could be so fun

Next item to track down, a pen and a pencil case
I can get one that's plastic but a zipper will save space
Now I'll need colored pencils and some pens, red and blue
A yellow highlighter and some erasers too

It's a scavenger hunt for school supplies that I need
Pens and pencils to write with and some new books to read
Just take them off one by one
Who knew shopping for school could be so fun

Next items I must get, a notebook and a folder
I need them to write on plus, a trusty homework holder
Keeping things in one place can help stay organized
Some colors, tabs, labels, oh, so came advice

It's a scavenger hunt for school supplies that I need
Pens and pencils to write with and some new books to read
Just take them off one by one
Who knew shopping for school could be so fun

Last item on the list, a lunchbox or a lunch box
Am I in one that zips up or perhaps this one that locks
At lunch I can share my culture through the food I bring to eat
Maybe we can swap some snacks and stories, that would be neat

It's a scavenger hunt for school supplies that I need
Pens and pencils to write with and some new books to read
Just take them off one by one
Who knew shopping for school could be so fun
