When to Play a Nature-Themed Video Scavenger Hunt
What would be a great opportunity for a nature-themed video scavenger hunt? Here are a few of my favorite ideas:
- at a Birthday Party with a nature theme or outdoor setting (woodland theme, birthday at a park, etc.)
- as a homeschool or classroom activity related to botany, the environment, wildlife, etc.
- in the backyard, as a boredom buster activity for kids during the long summer days
- as a family while hiking or visiting national parks
While video scavenger hunts are great for groups, this activity can also be completed in pairs or individually.
