NAME
Virtual Scavenger Hunt
WHO
Any online meeting (works best if everyone is online and in their home)
DURATION
- 5-7 minutes “searching”
- 3-5 minutes “sharing”
DIRECTIONS
You will have 5-7 minutes to scavenge your home/apartment/backpack/internet to display one item or image for each of the 4 categories. Find....
- Something you love
- Something you hate
- Something that reminds you of home (could be your home now, or where you were born/raised)
- Something new
Once you have called the participants back to the meeting, invite participants to share their items. If it’s a small group, each person can take a turn. If it’s larger, ask for volunteers to raise their hand.
ADAPTATIONS/TIPS
- If someone is not in their residence, feel free to make this a “Google” experience. Invite the participant to search online for images of each of these categories.
- If the lesson is focused on a certain topic (like food or culture), invite participants to find items pertaining to the unit’s theme.
