What are the benefits of having kids do scavenger hunts?
Truth be told, scavenger hunts are really great for kids. It gets them up off the couch and pulled away from their screens. They are sure to be running around and using their creativity.
A campground scavenger hunt can be a good idea for those young children with sensory challenges. Consider this a sensory scavenger hunt in nature or on your next family camping trip or summer camp.
We love doing scavenger hunts in our house because they're really just good and simple fun. The kids certainly get a kick out of running around the house and I love the fact that they're just up and moving in general.
The best part about scavenger hunts is that the kids can do them over and over again. A treasure hunt for younger kids or a little friendly competition for small groups.
