The
Team Scavenger Hunt is an activity enjoyed by all ages. It incorporates
crucial elements of team interaction, including open communication,
creative problem solving, and constant cooperation. Large groups
are separated into teams and each team receives all the materials
necessary to complete the Hunt. Materials include navigational directions,
Scavenger Hunt questions, Polaroid cameras, and documentation instruments.
Teams
rotate through topic areas, such as Historic Monterey, Old Fisherman's
Wharf, Steinbeck's Cannery Row, and Lover's Point; all of which
are within walking distance of each other along the Monterey Peninsula
coastline. The instructions lead each team to designated areas while
other teams are at alternate locations, passing each other as they
complete each section. The Hunt requires answers to questions relevant
and particular to specific locations which can only be discovered
through exploring areas or asking questions. Each Scavenger Hunt
question is worth points, with some questions worth more points
than others.
Teams
can also score points by taking team photos at specific locations
designated in the Hunt instructions. Photo locations usually require
some additional seeking and problem solving for each team. Some
physical items may also be asked for in the Scavenger Hunt that
each team can gather for bonus points.
Teams
compete against the other teams for the most points. The team with
the most points - WINS! We provide colored ribbons for the top three
teams and other awards can be used to supplement (trophies, televisions,
cars...). The excitement of the Team Scavenger Hunt is also heightened
when teams are separated and easily identified by the use of colored
scarves, hats, or sweatshirts.
