Scavenger Hunt

While driving to work the other day, I was thinking of a fun task that could get oh-so-many-points to all of you. A task that would basically put it all into your hands into how many points you earn. A task that would be fun! A task that could possibly, if you so choose, involve your family and friends.

What do you think?

Of course, a task like this will have to be available for at least a week. It will also have to be very much worth your while. And MOST important of all, it MUST be fun and creative, right?

Are you ready? I figured (as you can ascertain by the title of this post) a scavenger hunt would be perfect!

For every item on the list you will earn 5 points. The first person to get the entire list completed will earn bonus points. The second person completed will get bonus points as well...just not as many as the first place person. I'm sure there will be bonus points for AT LEAST the first 5 people to complete the entries, but it will depend on the number of participants. Of course, there will also be participation points.

Other points will be awarded for creativity, humor, and what I think deserves some bonus points. There may also, I haven't completely figured that part out yet, be an opportunity for you all to distribute some points to each other as well.

What do you think? Sound like fun? Okay, here's how it works (other than the points):
You can email me each item individually OR you can email me the entire list as a whole OR anything in between (5 things in one email, 1 thing in the next email, 2 things in the next email, etc...). Get it?

Submissions MUST be through email, not comments. Email address is linked on the sidebar, but it's also: thepreschooltest at gmail dot com

Okay, the list:
  1. A picture of your favorite place in your town
  2. A picture of your favorite place in your town with you in it
  3. An interesting item on line that is GREEN
  4. A blog post about this contest and/or this blog (just send the link, not the entire post-if you don't blog, an email to others will be just fine)
  5. A picture of exactly 5 balloons
  6. A picture of Eeyore doing something fun
  7. A list of 3 examples that can be used as a weekly blunder
  8. A minimum of 2 pictures for kids quips Friday photos
  9. A favorite healthy recipe
  10. A picture with the name Jenni/Jen/Jennifer in it
  11. A picture of a puppy that you think is worthy of the name "Sirius"
  12. A floor plan of the perfect 3 bedroom apartment
  13. A picture of a unique Coca-Cola item (examples but NOT LIMITED TO: cup, dishes, blanket, sign, ornament, etc...)
  14. A picture of you shopping at WalMart/Target
  15. A picture of your favorite "family time" event
  16. A story on your blog about your favorite childhood memory (again, if you don't blog an email to others will suffice and I only need the link of the blog and a copy of the email)
  17. A list of 3 favorite sayings
  18. A summary of your favorite book (bonus if it's on your blog)
  19. A link to the strangest item you can buy on line
  20. A link to the strangest story you can find on line
Okay, that's 20 items. I think that's enough, don't you?

Let's say the contest will end on June 28th at 6 pm Pacific Standard Time.

Any questions you can leave in the comments below, others may have the same questions. I'll answer them in the comments as well!

Now go have fun!
Oh, and if you're new to this scoreboard game you are welcome to join in. After all, you can earn more than 100 points! That would put you well up in the running! Join in the fun!

Sounds like fun! I'm going to visit my nephews for a few days but will play when I get back. I have a preschool graduation to attend!

Can't wait to get all your responses! FYI, you can send the pictures as attached files if you don't know how to include them in the body of the email.
