   • Look for items that match the scavenger hunt list, such as flags, cultural festivals, books, or signs in other languages.
3. Mark what you find. (5–8 min)
   • Circle each item on the sheet as soon as it is spotted.
   • (Optional) Take photos of interesting discoveries.
4. Reflect on the findings. (3–5 min)
   • Share which items were easiest or hardest to find.
