Ready to have some fun outside? Explore your neighborhood with an outdoor scavenger hunt! This is a great way to spend time outside, learn about your neighborhood, and have a blast.
Step 1: Create the Scavenger Hunt List
First, create the checklist you need for the scavenger hunt. Include things you can collect around your neighborhood, like leaves, flower petals, pebbles, etc., and things you can see, like street signs, animals (squirrels, birds, etc.), and colorful cars!
Step 2: Gather Supplies
You don't need much for the scavenger hunt — just the list, a pen or pencil, and a small plastic baggie for the collection items.
Step 3: Head Outside
Next, go outside and start hunting! Try to check off as many items on the list as possible.
Step 4: Talk About It
To extend the activity a little longer, spend some time discussing after you get home. Discussion questions could be things like, "What's something you saw in our neighborhood that you never noticed before?," "What's your favorite item that you collected?," and "What should we include on our next scavenger hunt?"
