Scavenger Hunt




This scavenger hunt activity required me to collect pictures that related to a certain theme which my group picked as Verbs. We went outside and acted out many different verbs. Then, we took pictures of each and added captions for what verb the picture is illustrating. Uploading the pictures and compiling the slideshow was an easy task. It was exciting to see the finished project especially since it was a fun activity!

A teacher could use this sort of activity in many ways. Students could borrow a camera from the school or use personal cameras at home to complete the activity for any central theme. For example, a Mathematics teacher in a Geometry class could have students take pictures of shapes in daily life. In general, this is a fun and easy activity where students can learn technology skills while gaining content knowledge through a hands-on assignment.
