Another great idea...

I have decided to take this European experience one step further. So when we arrive at the airport I will give the following handout to my students...

European Scavenger Hunt

While we are traveling throughout Europe I have a game for you. You may work as individuals or in groups no larger than three. Your job is to find and photograph a picture of as many items on this list as you can.

For every item on the list you snap a picture of I will give you one point (two points if you or a group member are in the picture). When we return to the states you can email/bring your pictures in to me. The individual or group with the most points will receive a special prize at our “wrap-up” meeting.

You DO NOT have to participate, but I hope you do. Good Luck!
