Adventures In The Park Treasure Hunt

Adventures in the Park

Treasure Hunt:

 Gather treasure to use

o Kids’ toys, plastic coins, and office supplies work well and are

inexpensive

 Choose an appropriate area in the park for the treasure hunt

 Have children close their eyes while you hide the treasure

o You can hide each item in different locations or choose one

location for all of the treasure, similar to a pot of gold or

treasure chest

o It is a good idea to count your treasure before starting the hunt

to make sure you collect all of it prior to leaving the park

o Set boundaries for the game and let the hunt begin

 To make the hunt more challenging, set a time limit and

enjoy watching the kids race to find the treasure!

 Have kids take turns hiding and finding the treasure

Scavenger Hunt:

 Give children a list of things to find at the park

o Provide small bags for children to use to collect the items,

create a checklist, or provide a camera for them to take pictures

of the items

 Here are a few ideas to customize your scavenger hunt:

o Color Hunt: Make a list of colors and have children find an

object for each color listed

o Letter Hunt: Find as many objects as you can that begin with

each letter of the alphabet

o Nature Hunt: Make a list of animals, insects, and plants for

children to find

 Use a local guide as a resource to create your list
