Neighborhood
Treasure Hunts can be so much fun!
Why not try one where you can find everything outside!
-
Print
these instructions.
- Gather
a group of Kids. The group can be any size. This activity can be as
much fun for 1 person as it is for many!
- If
you have a group, decide how many people you want in each team and how
many teams you want. Now divide everyone into their teams.
- Pass
the list of treasures needed (below) to each team.
- Set
a time limit of 30 minutes to find all of the items.
- Now
everyone start at the same time.
- The
object is to find as many of the objects on the list as you can in the
time allowed.
- You
might want to limit the search area to a park, the yard, or the neighboorhood
(from one block to another). Each group needs to have something (like
a grocery bag) to carry their treasures in.

When
you are finished:
- When
the 30 minutes is up, everyone gather back where they started.
- Sit
in a circle with your bags of treasures.
- Each
person or team take turns discussing the items on their list. Go down
the list and show the others what you found that meets the description.
- Allow
time for each team or person to discuss their treasures.
- When
everyone is finished, another fun activity is to take the treasures
they found and create crafts with them. They can do them alone or still
in teams.
- One
idea is to glue them together to make shapes or animals; another idea
is to glue them to a piece of paper to create a design. Have fun and
be creative. Incorporate your own ideas! No idea is a bad idea!
