BGPF061 | Scavenger hunt
By Dr. Rajeev Tamhankar
The Scavenger Hunt Activity engages children in a fun, screen-free exploration game that sharpens their observation skills and fosters problem-solving. With items hidden around the house and clues provided, this activity encourages curiosity and active learning.
- Prepare a list of 4-6 items (e.g., red toy, something soft, a book with animals, a spoon).
- Hide these items in safe, slightly challenging locations (e.g., under cushions, on tables).
- Provide the child with the list or simple drawings of the items.
- For older children, add clues or use a timer to increase difficulty.
- Guide them to find the items while encouraging independence.
- Cognitive Development: Enhances problem-solving and critical thinking.
- Sensory Engagement: Stimulates tactile and visual exploration.
- Language Skills: Builds vocabulary through descriptive clues.
- Physical Activity: Encourages movement and coordination.
- Start simple for younger children, increasing complexity gradually.
- Use clear, age-appropriate clues for guidance.
- Include themes (e.g., colors, textures) to make it educational.
- Keep hiding spots safe and easily accessible.
- Items to hide: toys, books, utensils, photos, etc.
- Paper/drawings for lists or clues.
- Timer (optional).
- Safe play area for the hunt.
