Activity: Scavenger Hunt
While you might not have a Bugatti parked in your driveway, you’re sure to find many of the items on our list around your own house!
For a fun way to use our list and fill an afternoon, conduct a scavenger hunt for the items.
Follow these steps to participate:
- Decide your scoring system. Will you count the number of items you find, or award more points for rare and unusual items? The scoring system is entirely up to you and can be as simple or complicated as you choose! Just be sure all participants know the rules before you play.
- Print a copy of our list for each person who wants to play. You’ll need a copy of the list, so you know what to look for while you hunt. With a printed copy, you can check items off as you go.
- Search the house for items on the list. Leave no corner unsearched! Our list includes items from the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, closet, and even the garage or backyard. You can cross the items off the list or snap photos to prove that you found them. We don’t recommend gathering all of the items together, though — with well over 100 on our list, you could end up with a pretty big pile!
- Offer a prize to the person who finds the most items or earns the most points! The prize can be anything you want, from a handmade victory crown to a meal from your favorite restaurant to something small that you already have around the house (like a sweet treat).
