Team Scavenger Hunt

 

This game is great fun, but requires a little care to keep it calm.  Not recommended for a class with poor self-control.

 

Break the class into teams of about 4 people each.  Make a list of about 10 items to be found, such as a blue eraser, a non-white sock, a band-aid.  End with a few more challenging or funny items like a belt, a boy wearing a girl’s shoe, etc.  Identify a team captain for each team.  The team captain must always be the one who brings the item to you, whether it is a thing or a teammate doing something.  The first team captain to bring the item gets a point.  You call out one thing at a time.  Be careful to move about the room so that you are not nearer to any particular team more often than another.  The team with the most points at the end wins.  The fun is in watching teams bring crazy items or do weird stunts.  In the adult version, one might ask for a man wearing a woman’s high heel, a woman wearing a man’s tie, a wallet with their spouse’s picture in it, etc.
