What can make an average scavenger hunt rock your face off?  You guessed it: Bananas!

The gist of it all

Basically, this is photo scavenger hunt, with a twist. The twist, in this case, is the introduction of produce. Each team of 7 or so gets a “team banana” and a list of items around town that they need to measure in banana lengths.

• Length between 3rd base and home plate
• Circumference of a drive thru window
• The height of your youth pastor
• Circumference of a fountain in the local mall
• Etc…

Logistical Stuff

• Have more items on your list than a team can complete within the time limit.
• Assign different point values for more difficult/distant items
• Print out a sign with a Team # for each team (put your youth logo and event name on the sign)
• At each location the team must take a pic with there entire group at the location. (Note: the sign must be visible in each picture)
• The picture must be posted on Instagram with a hashtag (#YourEvent) (#YourYouthMinistry)
• Have a designated return time
• Please don’t get hung up on “exact” banana lengths. Truth be told I never pre-measured any or our items. It’s a game, make it more about the fun and less about the competition.
