What’s the goal of the trip? Isn’t it to arrive at your destination safely, create great memories along the way and enjoy your time when you arrive. Why get into a struggle and ruin the memory while you’re trying to get there. Pouting, crying and unhappy kids can make the trip seem much longer than is really is. Give each of them their choice of scavenger hunt printables, a snack, drink, and let the trip begin.
Searching for different items and trying to finish first makes the hunt exciting and challenging. Take their mind off of how long it’s taking to arrive at your destination by getting them focused on their surroundings. One of your greatest memories will be the kids searching for the items, the conversations you will engage in while hunting for them and the peace you will find by having happy children. Now that is priceless.
I suggest printing the games on stock card. It makes the printable a little sturdier. Stock paper is heavier than regular copy paper, and won’t tear as easily either. Purchasing several clip boards so the kid’s will have something to hold their games. They can place their pen or pencil on the clipboard as well. Download Scavenger Hunt Games III and IV.
