Fun Scavenger Hunt
VARIATIONS OF TREASURES TO BE SEARCHED FOR:
BACKYARD PARK BEACH
garden tool red flower petal heart shaped rock
candy wrapper bird feather shell
comb coin bird feather
ball gum wrapper seaweed
pencil stick with two bends in it gum wrapper
red object ball a white sandal
Variations
- Each item on the list could be assigned points depending on how difficult it would be to find that item. A bent stick could be worth 1 point, while a 1989 penny could be worth 10 points.
- Rather than a list, assign each team a color. The winner is the team that finds the most objects that fit their category. If a team was assigned blue, they might come back with a candy wrapper with blue writing, a blue pen, a blue shirt, a blue piece of paper. Teams should only be given points for one of an item (only one pair of blue jeans would be counted).
- Assign each team a shape (circle, square, triangle). If the shape is triangle they might find a rock with a triangle edge, a key chain with a triangular link or charm, and a pyramid. Teams could decide in advance if they think one shape will be harder to find. The team that gets the more difficult shape could get more points for each item they find.
- For younger children, use clipart or drawings to create the list. Or assign teams partnering a younger child with someone who can read.
