    On Pinterest, there are some pretty cool Scavenger Hunts for kids to do during these stay at home times.  A couple of the outdoor ones are like pieces of art!  Look at this one! I could frame it! she suggested twig pencils to complete this hunt. I found some here! This one is simple yet also beautiful.  The kids could make the binoculars we talked about on this post and go out and do their hunt!

     But, what if you are on rainy day schedule?  We've had a lot of rain this year here in Phoenix.  How about you?  Some of you still are in the midst of very cold weather!  When I taught school, we always had to have things to do indoors during rainy days.  Not only that, when I had school aged children at home, the house became cluttered quickly! That can be a real mood buster when everyone is stuck at home together.  And finally, whether you are doing school work together or just having screen time and being bored, sometimes you just need a mental or physical break!  So, because of all of that, I decided to come up with an Indoor Scavenger Hunt that would incorporate fun, learning, food, activity and clutter-busting all in one!  I call it the Indoor Find and Do Scavenger Hunt.

    I had some of my grandchildren try the Scavenger Hunt out for me.  It was fun to get the pictures of them doing something that grandma sent them to do.  I sure do miss being with them! If you are a grandma missing your grandkids, It is really a blessing to have the ability to talk to them and do things with them over social media.  Sending them a simple activity like this scavenger hunt is a gift they will remember.

Directions:
    This isn't necessarily the kind of Scavenger Hunt that you would do all in one day and it isn't a race. 
  • It would be best if your children took their time to complete each task completely and well to get the most out of the activities.  I mean, some will be faster than others. Like picking up dirty socks, but, they should spend some time on the drawing and the reading or the geography.
  • Tell them that instead of a race, this is an exercise in doing things well.
  • Older children can help younger ones read the directions.
  • At the beginning of the week, you could give them the sheet and tell them to try to do 2 or 3 things on it per day.  Then, you could assign some type of reward when the entire page is filled and they have done all of the things WELL!  I'm thinking of a reward such as making cookies together or playing a favorite game.  You know what your kids will like. 
​    By the time the chart is completed, your kids will have cleaned up some clutter, read 2 books and had some fun.   Then, perhaps you can come up with some of your own ideas to add to the list the next time! Your house, your clutter, your needs, your kids!  But I hope I've given you a new idea to help you out. Just click the pdf button to print the sheet.  Look at the faces of my grandchildren!  I'm sure that your children enjoy it!
