Title: Treasure hunt
Summary:

The activity can be prepared in relation to various topics. The most common is related to discover the surroundings (a neighborhood, the old town, etc.) with little notes written both in Braille and in large print. The group should be divided into two and in each group you should have both sighted and participants with visual impairments.

Generally, for a treasure hunt we prepare a series of clues where each clue points to the next in line. A Treasure Hunt is typically 10-15 clues long, depending on the topic chosen. The clues can be generic or tailored to the particular topic they have to discover.

Objectives:

Fun way to experience the new surrounding, to cooperate as a group and to discover Braille or adapted drawings.

Materials / Equipment needed:

Braille prints, different flavours, smells, tastes, textures and a prize to offer at the end to the winning team.

This activity needs prior preparation time and adaptations of materials. For a good treasure hunt, it is advisable that the vi facilitator tests the hunt beforehand.
