How to play the scavenger hunt at the beach
Get the older kids to work in teams with the younger kids and have fun at the beach.
As there are pictures and words young children who are early readers can try and read the word as well.
Kids of all ages will have such a great time with this.
There are 2 ways they can play:
Work in small groups and mark off the summer items when they are spotted.
Older children can turn this into a photo scavenger hunt. When they spot an item they need to snap a photo of it as proof!
You could have a little friendly competition, with whichever team gets back to you first, or whoever takes the best photos.
Take some small prizes with you, I love to take:
This is one of our favorite things to do on a beach with kids. It also gives me a 5-minute break while Dad plays the scavenger hunt with our son!
