MAGAZINE SCAVENGER HUNT FOR INDIVIDUALS

This game is played individually, competing against everyone else. Give each person an old magazine, along with a list of various items, which can be found in their magazines. when an item is found, they cut it out and collect as many items on the list as possible within the allotted time.

This game is great for players of different ages and abilities as you can tailor your lists accordingly

For example, very young players might just search for specific colors and tear out the pages rather than cutting anything.

Another alternative is to have youngsters turn down their corners rather than cutting or tearing out pages.

If you don't want your magazines cut up, you can have the players write down the numbers of the pages on which the objects are found.
