InstaScavenger Hunt @DownloadYM

This weekend our IMPACT students participated in an InstaScavenger Hunt.  Using smartphones to capture various pictures and videos, they uploaded them to Instagram with the hashtag #impactinsta.  While the concept of the scavenger hunt has been around for years, we had a great time going around town taking pictures under bank signs, of the entire group in a bathroom stall and a video of the chicken dance under the KFC sign.

A few of the pictures are below.  You can search #impactinsta on Instagram to all of them.

I modified a list for our hunt from Download Youth Ministry.  It was a great resource to use and had some fun ideas. (Thanks DYM!)

Cool Website – RedKid.Net

One of my IMPACT volunteers sent me information about a cool website called RedKid.Net.  The website says this about itself:  RedKid is dedicated to providing a free, entertaining, educational, and safe website for internet users of all ages.

As you peruse the site, you see there are many different pages and features.

The coolest (in my humble opinion) is the Sign Generator.  The site contains a variety of images that you can personalize with your message.  Some images allow more text than other, but they allow you to be somewhat creative.  You add your text and then can download the result.  Here are two we have created so far.
