Camera Work with John Ricard

Photo Projects You Can Try at Home With Kids - Camera Work 03

Need to find something to do with the kids while you are shut in? Then try this photo scavenger hunt. Summary: Generate a list of items for your child to photograph. The list can be very literal and simple for a young child.

Examples include:

Photograph something you own.

Photograph something blue

Photograph something in your room

Photograph something your Mom takes with her when she leaves the house.

 

As the child gets older, the project can be modified to include items that are less literal and more conceptual.

Examples include:

Photograph something you like that other people in the house do not use

Photograph something that you want to keep even when you are an adult.

Photograph something that reminds you of a happy time.

Photograph something that everyone has in their room.
