Photo Scavenger Hunt
Now that most of us have digital cameras, photo scavenger hunts have become a whole lot more practical. There are tons of ways to do these, and all of them will help your children grow and learn. With spring break right around the corner for many children, these activities can keep kids productively occupied during part of their vacation.
The most common way to run a photo scavenger hunt is to make a list of items to find and photograph. This opens up many new doors, since you can add things to your list that aren’t ‘collectible’ in the usual sense of the word. Send your child out to find buildings, plants, trees, animals and more. If you’re working indoors, try furniture or patterns.
Add some academic flair to your scavenger hunts by sending players out to find items that begin with specific letters, have three syllables in their names, or end with special sounds. Make some math action by looking for items that have specific sizes or weights.
Finally, try this variant: let players photograph a certain number of items, and have them write descriptions or clues to each without naming the item. Opponents must try to match the clues with the correct pictures.
Have a fun time!

Great post. Thanks for the good information. I enjoyed reading it.
Thanks for the post. This game looks really fun to play with kids. They can print off their photos and make a book or some sort of display.
