Scavenger Hunt You are about to begin a scavenger hunt with several members of the class. The object of the game is to collect all of the items listed as quickly as possible. You may talk with anyone in the group. You may not leave the room. You must associate each item with the person who gave it to you. You may not get more than two items from any one person. Once I have assigned groups, you may begin play. When your team is finished, your team should loudly announce the phrase “hunt over” to the rest of the class. Be prepared to say where you got each item.
