Scavenger hunt is one of the
great activities for kids to keep them busy. A scavenger hunt can be made with many themes
like alphabets, colors, shapes, backyard, outdoor or seasonal like winter,
autumn, summer or Rainy. Our today’s scavenger
hunt theme is nature.
A scavenger hunt list may be a list of clues,
names of the object or pictures. As my little one is only 4 years and not yet started
reading, I drew a set of pictures for her hunting. (We can even prepare it using clip art and take a printout.) Here is the list of items
which were drawn (This is only for the readers.
For my surprise my baby understood most of those items except the shell
and the nut (pei) of a coconut)
1. A
cosmos, a black seed, a croton’s leaf, two identical stones
2. Leaf,
Leaf, bud of a grass, ant
3. Y’
shaped stick, flower, red leaf, root
4. Black
pebble, shell, nut of a coconut, tall grass
5. Leaf,
a plant with red stem and green leaf, small pink flowers. .
Some of her questions before going for hunting,
I Row:“Ma, why you drew two stones?”
III Row:“Is this a stick? Can I have to take a stick of this same shape?”
IV Row:“Is this a pebble or some seed?”
Scavenger hunts keeps the child
busy and help to improve her recognition of various objects, shapes and colors.
