How to Play a City Scavenger Hunt
So, how do you play a City Scavenger Hunt? Well, be creative! There are so many ways to play, that I’ll just share a few of my favorite scavenger hunt ideas:
- City Touring – While big cities are tons of fun, walking and transportation can be boring to kids. Keep them entertained by encouraging them to observe the city sights with a scavenger hunt.
- Photo Scavenger Hunt – Great for adults and teens, send them around the park to capture photos of each item with their smartphones. Allot extra points when a person is in the photo, too, or require entire groups be in the photo with each item listed on the scavenger hunt.
Did you know? All of our Scavenger Hunt Games include the picture and the word so that any kid can play, even if they haven’t learned to read.
