Try A “Things To Do In…” Lens

OK, who’s looking for something to do this Winter? Raise those hands. I know I am always on the lookout for fun family activities with great reviews.

So your challenge is to create a ”Things To Do In…” lens. Here’s a few examples:

10 Things To Do In Vail, Colorado
5 Things To Do On A Snowy Day In Cleveland
15 Things To Do In London
10 Things To Do On A Long Flight
50 Things To Do If You’re In Tampa, FL

But…don’t just make a boring list. Get creative and share your own unique perspective. Include polls, debates and great travel books.

People everywhere are looking for fun things to do this Winter. Deliver them a lens that they can use, share and get excited about.

Post your finished lens right here in the comments section of this post for a possible MonsterBorad feature next week.

    I am exciting about creating a things to do in…..lens. I did not even think about doing a lens. I love these quests because it challenges us to think outside the box. Have a great weekend.
