One of my personal favorite ways to stay active and have some fun at the same time is to go on scavenger hunts. Scavenger hunts can take on many forms, depending on how much work you want to put into them ahead of time. They can also stay as close to or as far away from home as you are comfortable. You can make clues for objects around your house, take it to your neighborhood park, or venture all the way to a state park. You can make riddles to figure out in order to get the next clue, or just give them a list of things they must find. The possibilities are almost endless. Our family likes to play with the four P’s. When we embark on a scavenger hunt those doing the hunting must always use the four P’s: Person, Place, Position and Prop. Once they find the PLACE from their clue they have to take a picture with a particular person, position, and prop… these four P’s can be predetermined or pulled from a hat; either way, you are in for lots of laughs along the way. Here is a great website to help you make your own scavenger hunt:
