How to run it
- After everyone has marked 3-5 photos, ask participants to move around the room to find a partner or small group, sharing their selected photos and writing their names in the corresponding spots on the scavenger hunt card.
- Bring the full group back to attention and debrief, calling on a few people to share responses or prompting them to speak with one person next to them.
- What was more fun for you - looking through your photos on your own, or sharing and talking about them? Is that the same or different from your learning style?
- What did you notice about how you and your partners thought differently about the words on your cards, or were drawn to different words when finding matches? What explains that?
- Everyone in this room has a unique “gallery” in their head of experiences, examples, and ideas. Think about the unique perspective you as an individual contribute to this group. How can we build on our assets - all these unique minds and experiences - as we collaborate?
