How to Plan a Photo Scavenger Hunt for Groups

Decide on when you are going to have the scavenger hunt. It's a great event for a youth group party, sorority pledge week activity, college orientation, etc. Ideally there should be at least 6 people.
Step2 Make a list of scenarios that the group must take a picture of themselves in front of. Here are some ideas:

1. On a Swing Set
2. Doing the bunny hop in front of a certain store
3. Sitting on the courthouse steps
4. With someone wearing a uniform
5. In front of a Volkswagen Beetle (or PT cruiser, etc.)
6. In the deodorant section at Wal-Mart
7. Crammed into a bathtub
8. In front of a statue
9. In front of any local landmark
10. With a duck
11. With everyone wearing hats
12. With everyone making a peace sign
13. On an escalator
14. Spelling out a word - such as "hi"
15. In front of a brown house
16. In front of a house over 40 years old
17. In front of a certain type of tree, such as pecan
18. With a puppy
19. With a cow
20. In front of a traffic sign
Step3 If the group is a youth group, or people younger than 18, recruit chaperones - enough for one per group.
Step4 Try to get a head count of how many people there will be, if possible. The players will be divided into teams of 4 or 3.
Step5 Create the rules. They might be that whoever gets the most pictures of these in a 2 hour time span wins. Print & xerox the rules, along with the list of scenarios the players need to create on the scavenger hunt.
Step6 Purchase disposable cameras, enough for each group.
Step7 When the party comes, hand out the scavenger hunt sheets, explain the rules and tell them to check off the scenarios that they accomplish, and enjoy!
Step8 Have everyone meet back. Take the cameras to a one hour developing lab to develop photos. Give the winners a fun prize!
Step9 Put the photos in a fun scrapbook, or give to players to enjoy.
