Scavenger Hunt

A scavenger hunt is a great activity that can be done with your children either indoors or outdoors.

Here's what you'll need:

Materials:

  • Scavenger hunt list (can be printed out or written on paper)

  • Pens or pencils

  • Optional: Bags or baskets for collecting items

Instructions:

  1. Create a scavenger hunt list that includes a variety of items for the kids to find. Some examples include a certain color object, a specific type of leaf, a toy car, or a book with a certain word in the title.

  2. Hand out the scavenger hunt lists and pens/pencils .

  3. Set a timer for a designated amount of time (such as 30 minutes) and have the kids start searching for the items on the list.

  4. Encourage them to work together and help each other find the items.

  5. Once the time is up, have them return to the starting point with their collected items.

  6. Review the items on the list and check off each item that was found.

  7. Celebrate the successful scavenger hunt with a fun snack or treat!
