How do you make a virtual scavenger hunt?
The major difference between this type of scavenger hunt and the other one is that it’s done remotely or online.
A lot people use Zoom to connect groups of kids online, but you can use any video conferencing software or app.
The hard part might be getting everyone together with no technical issues but once thats done, the scavenger hunt rules are easy!
