Equipment: 1 polarized camera with flash
Description of Activity:
Begin this activity by making a list of things you would like to take a picture of or sceneries you
would like to take a picture in. Each picture will be given a point value depending on difficulty
of the activity or encounter captured by the photo. The point system then translates into prizes for
the participants. The participants then have to hide the pictures and have other participants find
pictures around the area. Participants have about 5 minutes to search and find pictures. Once
each participant finish gathering all the pictures, calculate the value of the pictures and see which
participant had the highest score. The participant with the highest score will receive a prize.
Leadership Considerations:
The size of the group for the activity will work best with 5 to 10. This can be done outside of a
facility or inside the activity room. Make sure to keep a close look on the participants so they
dont wander too far if it is outside. Each participant will take turns taking about 3 photos of their
choice and then hiding it after to begin the scavenger hunt. Assist them with adding a value to the
picture of the amount it will be worth to the score if found.
Adaptations:
Participants with Borderline Personality Disorder: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a
general pattern of unsteadiness in personal relationships, self-esteem, and emotions. Individuals
with borderline personality disorder are typically very impulsive, demonstrate behaviors like
risky sexual behaviors, suicide attempts, etc. It occurs usually on young adults. This activity
can help them interact with others and perhaps share something in common like an object, or a
flower or scenery they both liked. RT should encourage the participants to keep entertained or
pair up with someone if they get distracted. Make the participant feel good about what they are
doing and acknowledge their great work.
Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
also known as (ADHD) is probably the most common childhood disorders. It can also continue
through adolescence and adulthood. Individuals with ADHD have symptoms like difficulty
staying paying attention or staying focused, they have a hard time controlling their behavior, and

very hyperactivity. Participants might have a hard time following the directions. The therapist
should go over the directions at the begin and if needed continue repeating the steps or saying
out loud what is the next step to take to keep the participants alert.
