Photo Finish


I often have participants introduce themselves by showing the group something they have in their pockets, packs or purses but recently I saw a neat twist on this.

When you have a roomful of adults you are bound to have photos in wallets. Hand out a short list for a scavenger hunt of photos. Have everyone mill around sharing the photos and see how many they can find and tick off. Each photo should come from a different person.

It is up to you which photos you put in the list. Try to reflect the group you are working with.
Here are a few ideas to get you started.

1) a happy family
2) a really young baby
3) a curly headed toddler
4) a car
5) a vacation spot
6) a school photo
7) a grandmother or grandfather
8) a big dog
9) a small dog
10) a pet other than a dog
11) a house
12) a flower or tree

Just make up any list you want and see how many of them your group collectively keeps in their wallets.

This is a lively way to get people talking and sharing.
