Photo Scavenger Hunt

This Photo Scavenger Hunt is a great option for older children with phones and freedom to explore their neighborhood.
Some of the items are a bit more abstract and may require some discussion prior to the hunt.
Students can send me their images in any creative way: they can group them into a collage, slide presentation, or a movie.
 Feel free to work with a partner!
