How to Do the Quest
- 1
Choose a public walking route with safe crossings and an adult plan when needed.
- 2
Look for letters on public-facing signs, murals, and building names without entering private spaces.
- 3
Collect one example each of five different letter moods, such as bold, curly, tall, tiny, or hand-painted.
- 4
Avoid photographing people, vehicle plates, or anything inside a business unless permission is clear.
- 5
At home, draw an alphabet poster inspired by the five letter styles.
Quest Challenge
Can the group find five letter styles without repeating the same kind of sign?
Pro Tip
The best finds are often older building details and public art, not the largest brand signs.
Safety First
Stay on public sidewalks, use marked crossings, keep the group together, and do not step into streets or private property for a photo.
