Frequently asked questions
How do I run this hunt for a group or party?
Print one copy per child (or per team of two) and add a clipboard and pencil each — the "official equipment" feeling doubles the engagement. First to finish calls out; everyone else gets five bonus minutes to complete their list.
Where can we play this scavenger hunt?
The list is written for ordinary places — around the house, the backyard, a walk to the park — so no setup is needed. Read the list together first so younger kids know what they're hunting for, then let them lead.
Can my child do this one alone?
That's the sweet spot of this age — hand it over and let them own it. Resist hovering: figuring out a sticking point solo (or choosing to ask for help) is a bigger win than a perfectly completed page.
