🔍 What’s the “Scavenger Hunt”?

Imagine students working together, moving around the classroom, and completing fun challenges—all while learning the real impact of social media on friendships, feelings, and self-worth.

💬 Clue 1: Connect with Your Friends Students “send” an imaginary text to a classmate with a kind message 💌—showing how social media can spread positivity.
