Robert Sheppard has his ESOL students go on scavenger hunts, in which they take photos of a team member in front of the found item to document that they’ve found it. Here are some of his suggestions for things to search for:

  Find as many USPS blue mailboxes as possible (1 point each)
  Find a pharmacy (2 points); ask if they accept your insurance (3 bonus points!)
  Find the oldest building in the city (5 points)
  Find as many pizza restaurants with possessive nouns in the name as possible (2 points for each possessive noun)

Although intended for English learners, this activity could also be adapted to areas with a strong target language and culture influence, or in a study abroad context.
