This is a scavenger hunt type activity. The students are given a list of things to take a picture of (For example: Something bigger than a dog.) The first team to have a picture for each item on the list wins.
Before doing this activity, make sure that you can use some device that can take pictures at your school. I usually use windows tablets, but any device that can take pictures and has screen would do.
Steps
- Split the students into groups of 3 to 5 students
- Give the handout to the students.
- Give one tablet (or other device) per team. ( Warn the students to be careful with it!)
- Go over the example with the students. Tell the students that went they have finished taking the pictures, they have to come to you so you can check their answer.
- Let the students go around the classroom and take pictures.
- When 3 teams are finished or the time is up, stop the game, give a present to the winning team(s) and ask the students to go back to their seat.
