Looking for something different to do with the kids this Labor Day Weekend? Give them bags- or have them put on their book bags- and send them out on a Scavenger Hunt! Here are some ideas on what to look for:
Bird Feather
Bird nest (already empty)
Trash
Aluminum Can (yes, this would probably fall into the trash category)
A Green Leaf
Flower
Dandelion
Stick with two bends in it
Gumball (the kinds that fall from trees)
Heart shaped rock
Gum wrapper
A Red Object
Heart shaped leaf
If your kids are old enough, assign different items different point values and give them a stop watch. And watch them go- while you enjoy your coffee and read the paper.
I actually took a bunch of kids on a scavenger hunt last weekend and spent my time taking pictures of them with all of their different expressions finding things... It was fun for all!
