A simple way to make your scavenger hunt more interesting is to get other parents involved. Post on Facebook, in your group chat, or call your friends and ask them to join.

A scavenger hunt is appropriate for children four and up, just make sure you tag along with your younger children. All you need to participate is a list of items and a pen/pencil to mark off what you’ve found!
