Nature Scavenger Hunt Ideas For Kids
Fun And Fabulous Nature Scavenger Hunt Ideas
The Perfect Choice For Your Nature-Lovin' Kids!
A Scavenger Hunt with an emphasis on nature can be elaborate or simple. Design your hunt with the ages of your participants in mind. You don't want to frustrate younger kids if the items on their list are too hard to locate, however, older kids usually are up for the challenge and find the competition to win exhilarating.
Be sure to establish ground rules. For example, the boundaries that the participants may search within; stay with your team; and leave nature as it is found and don't destroy the natural surroundings.
Equip your teams with a bag to carry their items in, Ziploc bags to protect more fragile items from other things collected, jars to transport their bugs in, disposable plastic gloves, Wet Ones, digital camera, and if you want to incorporate a little nature clean-up, provide each team with a garbage bag.
