Scavenger Hunt idea...urgent

Hi,
Is there a way that I could do a scavenger hunt for my university students, but somehow include grammar? It's a stupid question, I know. I was just trying to think of something for my students to do so they can move around.

i am also thinking of designing a Scavenger Hunt activity. have you tired to find some examples on line? maybe that is helpful. if you succeed in finishing yours, would you like to post it here on the forum? i want to learn more, thanks.

It is always a puzzle to me what people think grammar is. Is there something from your book that you must teach? For example, if you want to teach something about what people are doing - he is swimming, he is walking, she is talking - then you can send them out to find as many examples of activities as possible. You can even get them to take pictures or make brief sketches of the activities to put up on a poster. They can interview people to find out what they did yesterday or will do tomorrow. The students can find examples of vocabulary or themes - the bakery and all the things that are in it, the video store and all the things that are in it. I'm with you though to get them more active.
