Our photo scavenger hunt is free fun!
Looking for some free fun? Try a scavenger hunt -- a photo scavenger hunt.
We did and had a blast. And by "we" I mean the Sun-Sentinel, with an assist from some very enthusiastic helpers -- my daughter Erika and her pals Sofia and Kendra. They gave our scavenger hunt a trial run to make sure it was kid friendly, and fun. Go here to print out a copy of our scavenger hunt.
Give our Fort Lauderdale hunt a try, or make one up on your own. (If you do, we'd love to hear about it.)
Here's what we did: Reporter Liz Doup created a list of 10 spots to look for around Fort Lauderdale's Riverfront. She added a little history and fun facts to each. With the list in hand, Liz and the girls hit the road. The fun of it was not only looking for each spot, but taking pictures. They brought along a prop for some creative picture-taking.
You could make a day of it. Explore the area. Bring a picnic lunch. Stop for ice cream. Or while you're there, visit the Museum of Discovery and Science. This is something you can do anytime the kids start to get a little antsy.
Then, upload your photos to our ever-growing photo gallery. Check it out. We've got pictures of beach balls and Marlins caps, families and friends. Show us your shots!
