The concept of this free summer activity is a pretty simple one, but it can be altered to be more difficult or more fun. The idea is that you get a camera and find items that start with each letter of the alphabet and take a photo of each. This can be made more difficult by making it a competition between 2 or more groups of people to finish first. It could also be made more fun by making it a scavenger hunt on the go and finding these things around town.
We chose to do it in our yard over Memorial Day Weekend a couple years ago and some of them were a little hard to find. Here's what we got:
 |
| Airplane ride-on toy |
 |
| Bouncy Ball |
 |
| Clouds, of course |
 |
| Dandelion |
 |
| Easter bucket |
 |
| Fire |
 |
| Girls |
 |
| Horn |
 |
| Insect |
 |
| Junk pile |
 |
| Keyboard |
 |
| Lawn chair |
 |
| Man |

| Nut |
 |
| Orange |
 |
| Puddle |
 |
| Quench... it's a stretch |
 |
| Rainbow. Do ya see it!? |
 |
| Statue |
 |
| Tear |
 |
| Umbrella |
 |
| Vent |
 |
| Window |
 |
| "X" marks the spot. Totally cheated on this one |
 |
| Yawn |
| Alas, no "Z". I intended at the time to get a photo of Boog after he feel asleep, for "Zzzzz", but didn't for some reason. When we play again, we will set a time limit. Each photo will be worth 1 point and each photo that depicts a double letter word, such as "bouncy ball", "green grass", or "elephant ear" will be worth 2 points. And any 3+ letter photos, like "rusty red roof" would be worth 5. We might also split into teams or do it in a store or something to shake it up. I think the game has a lot of potential to be fun, especially if prizes are involved. Free prizes, of course... like getting to choose what movie to watch that night. Have you ever done an alphabet themed scavenger hunt? How did you play it? Any ideas for shaking this up some? |
