What is it
Take close up photos of objects around the house and encourage guests to identify the mystery objects.
Family Vacation
Children love the thrill of the hunt. A family vacation is a great opportunity to send the kids on a hunt for mysterious items. A scavenger hunt can make the
vacation fun and educational. Encourage children to find items that will force them to learn. For example, if the vacation is camping
have the children find leaves from different types of trees - maple, oak, birch, etc. If the vacation is to the Grand Canyon
have the children find facts about the grand canyon and other local attractions. The possibilities are endless.
