Scavenger Hunt for Writing Group
On Thursday afternoon last week our writing group met together (online) for the first time in a while! We thought it would be fun for the kids to enjoy seeing each other and playing a game together before we get back into the serious IEW stuff.
So we played a scavenger hunt, giving them all one thing to find at a time. The kids had to come back and show what they’d found for that particular clue before we moved on to the next one. So it wasn’t a race, but that didn’t stop them running around! We didn’t get through everything but just picked random ones from the various lists.
Here’s the (somewhat writing related) scavenger hunt list that I came up with:

I did consider putting in ‘something disgusting’ for the adjectives list, but then thought better of it! Who knows what would have come out? As it was, we had one poor old Dad’s undies displayed for all to see! The kids enjoyed themselves and came up with some pretty funny interpretations.
