Provide them with hints or a basic map to locate each “treasure”.

Make a scavenger hunt list of things to look for in your house or yard.

Items can be very simple, such as “something blue” or “a leaf.”

Nature Walk

Walk around the backyard, or walk the neighborhood.

We do a scavenger hunt for different plants, rocks, or insects the kids can find.
