This newspaper scavenger hunt is the perfect activity for a party or when you've got kids that are bored and looking for something "fun" to do.

This hunt can be played individually or with teams. To get started, give each person or team a newspaper and a pair of scissors. Listed below are some suggested photos, ads, notices, etc. for your scavengers to find in their newspapers.

Variation: To make things a little more challenging, dismantle numerous newspapers so the pages are all individual and put them into the center of the table. Then only allow people to grab one piece of newspaper at a time, review it for whatever they are looking for, return it to the pile and grab another, etc. An individual is never allowed to have more than one piece of newspaper at a time. If you are playing in teams, then each team member is only allowed to have one newspaper at a time.
