Youth Ministry Scavenger Hunt: New Twists on a Teen Favorite

Bonus Tips

  • If you’re going in cars or vans, have teams split up. Have them come up with fun
    team names.
  • Give team members matching-colored headbands.
  • Make sure every team has a camera phone.
  • Have a rule that everyone needs to be in the picture (unless no one else is around to take it).
  • Set a specified amount of time. One hour usually works great. Then kids can come back and view all the pics in your meeting place.
  • Give away team prizes and random individual prizes. (For example, guy who got the most “no’s” from strangers. Girl who didn’t hesitate when asked to volunteer to eat the worm.)
