Tour Guides and Treasure Hunt Activity

Students will take pictures of a chosen spot and add a voice recording with key points about the spot. Later they will take their peers on a city tour and conclude the activity with treasure hunt in mixed groups.
Treasure hunt is a collaborative team buliding activity where atudents are faced with problem-solving challenges. The objective is to complete the tasks as a team. Each task guides the teams to the next and ultimately the hidden treasure.
