These items such as leaves, feathers, twigs can then become concrete objects and support memory and conversations about the scavenger hunt later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the scavenger hunt consider pace of learning and match this to the individual you are supporting. Allow time to explore and engage with objects and materials they find most interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/information-and-advice\/communication\/hand-under-hand-signing\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Scavenger-hunt-1.jpg\" alt=\"Exploring natural objects using the hand under hand technique\" class=\"wp-image-40964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Scavenger-hunt-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Scavenger-hunt-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Scavenger-hunt-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Scavenger-hunt-1-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Exploring natural objects using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/information-and-advice\/communication\/hand-under-hand-signing\/\">hand under hand technique<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, feel a low tree branch, using hand under hand to introduce the branch, explore the leaves\/twigs together, then take part of the branch (fallen- do not damage a healthy tree) as a \u2018memory\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Scavenger-hunt-2.jpg\" alt=\"Scavenged items collected using a simple wooden frame with woven elastic to hold items\" class=\"wp-image-40962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Scavenger-hunt-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Scavenger-hunt-2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Scavenger-hunt-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sense.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Scavenger-hunt-2-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Scavenged items collected using a simple wooden frame with woven elastic to hold items.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On returning home, go through the scavenged items together.
