How to Play Scavenger Hunt for Kids
There are many fun
ways to play. Depending on the ages of your kids, you may
want to start with the Basic Game first and then move onto the
faster pace of the Race Game.
The Basic Game
Each player should
take 5 cards (3 cards if playing as a team) from the deck and
look at the tasks on the cards. Players have up to 30
minutes to finish as many of the activities on their cards as
they possibly can. Players should set up a central
location or meeting place where they can put the objects they
have found in a pile.
At the end of 30 minutes (or sooner
if everyone is done) players should meet at the meeting place
and count how many tasks they have completed. Starting
with the youngest player, that player should begin reading the
tasks from the cards. As each task is read, the player
should display the item that was collected or the activity that
was done. If everyone agrees that the task was completed
successfully, that player earns a point. Put a check next
to the player's name on the scorecard. If there is a
disagreement, ask an adult to serve as a judge and help make a
decision. Continue in this manner until all players have
gone. Add
up the points. The player who has the most points wins!!
The
Race Game
To play, place 5 scavenger hunts cards face up on a table.
All the players should attempt to accomplish these SAME 15 tasks
before the other players do. Players may NOT take the
cards with them - they should just try as best they can to
remember the tasks on the cards and should come back to look at
them if they forget. As players find things on the cards,
they should put them in their own pile. The first player
to finish all the tasks on the cards wins. If after 30
minutes, no player has finished all the tasks, then the player
who has finished the most tasks wins.
Team Play
This is a really good
way to play a scavenger hunt any time there is a large group.
To play, make teams of 2 or more people and try either the Basic
Game or Race Game. Teammates should cooperate and try to
help each other out if a team member is having difficulty with a
task. |
My First Scavenger Hunt
My
First Scavenger Hunt is a great activity for energetic
youngsters. To play, take a card and ask the players to find the
object shown, such as a toy, a sock, or something red. At the
end of the game, challenge the players to put everything back as
fast as they can. My First Scavenger Hunt is Great For:
Improving Vocabulary, Teaching color, shape, and number
recognition, Encouraging creativity, Fostering listening and
observation skills, and Reinforcing good cleanup skills.
Includes 55 cards and instructions. Ages 3 to 5.

How to Play Travel Scavenger Hunt
Shuffle the deck and
deal each player 5 cards. Put the remaining cards back in
the box.
The goal of the game is to find the objects on your cards.
Every time a player finds an object he or she yells it out, and
shows the card to the other players. If everyone agrees
the object has been found, the player places the card into his
or her own discard pile, and selects another card from the top
of the deck. (Note: all objects must be found outside of
the car the player is in).
The first player to discard 10
cards wins!!
In addition, each deck contains
these special cards:
Swap Me Cards
If a player gets a Swap Me card, the player may swap any
card in his or her hand for another card in the deck. To
use a Swap Me card place it, and an unwanted card at the bottom
of the deck, and then take 2 new cards from the top of the deck.
Hear It Cards
If a player gets a Hear It card, the player must hear
something (like a siren for example) in order to discard the
card. The noise may not come from the car the player is
in.
Smell It Cards
If a player gets a Smell It card, the player must smell
something (like a skunk, for example) in order to discard the
card. The smell may not come from the car the player is
in.
Feel It Cards
If a player gets a Feel It card, the player must feel
something (like the car driving over a big bump) in order to
discard the card. |
How to Plan Your Scavenger Hunt
Make sure all
the kids playing are the right ages for the game. If the
kids are either too young or too old, they will quickly become
bored, frustrated, or discouraged.
Go through the
cards before the start of the game and remove any that may be
too difficult or that may take the kids into a room of the house
that is off limits.
Establish the
ground rules of the scavenger hunt game early with the kids.
Go over good sportsman ship (i.e. no pushing) and which if any
rooms in the house are off limits.
Set out any
supplies you may need for your scavenger hunt prior to the start
of the game. Supplies like pencils, paper, crayons, etc.
Use either an egg
timer, stove timer, or stop watch to help you keep track of the
time.
Scavenger hunts can
be a lot of fun, but kids can become suddenly disinterested when it
comes to putting all of their finds back where they belong. To
make cleaning up easier and fun, challenge the kids to put
everything back in it's place within a certain time. Consider
rewarding them with an additional treat if the beat the time.
