Cultural Scavenger Hunt

The checklist for our cultural scavenger hunt. Some of these are specific to Prague - many are not. At a surface level, this is a fabulous tool to help kids have fun and observe specific things about a city or context. Dig deeper by talking about observations of a culture from these tasks and making interpretation about the culture. Go even deeper by talking about what relevance those interpretations have when it comes to the Gospel.

What is the oldest thing you can find
Go up to someone and ask them what the story is about the clock tower
Find the most interesting statue to your group
Recreate the most interesting statue with your group
Find the church that has the thiefs arm

Find a flag from a country where no one in your group lives in or is from
Take a picture on the street where all the luxury stores are
