We did a similar thing where I took pictures of things around our town and the children had to hunt them down, but I like the idea of THEM taking the pictures too. I loved the scavenger hunt idea.

Go on a shape walk, take pictures and then put in plastic page protector for children to trace the shapes they can find. Actually, you can imitate all of Tana Hobart's books for these kinds of things. Letters, numbers, shapes... 2) When I taught in a classroom, I made a scrapbook of our activities. The kids could look at them, and write captions which really encouraged some of the more reluctant writers. And readers as they looked at the pictures over and over.

I have used my digital camera many times when my 5 year old comes in and says, "Mom...I can't find it...I looked all over the counter and it isn't there" I send her back with the camera to take a picture and then point it out to her. Or when she swears and declares that the playroom is all cleaned up after spending all of 30 seconds in there I can send her back with the camera to "prove her case". The best is when she comes running to tell me that her little sister just made a HUGE mess in the bathroom...send her with the camera to asses the damages!! When I am sick the LAST thing I want to do is run all over the house! LOL!!! Blessings~ Shelley I think that this post can be intertwined with the “what to do when Mom is sick” post.

Talk about keeping them busy! They love looking at themselves, you know. And filming was a great motivator for cleaning. Remind them time is limited. ;) Let them compare the Before & After version of the room to feel proud of their work, and let them enjoy watching themselves working really fast (fast forward) or backward (reverse). They just might beg you to LET them clean from now on. LOL! Oh! #14 is a great one I never would’ve thought of, but that someone like me could really use! ^_^
