List of Onomatopoeia
Preparation
Make a list of words that represent sounds – onomatopoeia
Scavenger Hunt Desription
Onomatopoeia are words that represent sounds. Use this for a photo scavenger hunt. Youth must photograph the object or creature that makes the corresponding sound. For example: if the clue is “meow” then the youth must take a photo together with a cat. “clippety-clop” is the sound a horse makes as its shoes strike the ground so they would need to take a photo together with a horse.
