Each hat will contain a progressive clue that leads them to different locations, searching for a pot of gold (party favors, gifts.) RE: Scavenger Hunt Ideas Post By (Guest Post) (03/07/2006) We always have one at our Christmas party - teenagers - last year I wrote fish for one item - I got a can of tuna, some frozen walleye and a bucket with 2 minnows in it!! I also ask for the front page of the newspaper from a couple of days ago, a pkg. of jello, specific kind of soup, someone's autograph (with her permission), etc. It is always a blast!! The kids love it and it helps break up the evening. Need more game ideas? I have some good ones. RE: Scavenger Hunt Ideas Post By (Guest Post) (03/07/2006) 1. a green sock 2. a green tie 3. a green hair scrunchie 4. a green apple 5. a green glove 6. a green pillowcase 7. a green cup/mug 8. a green vegetable (sprout/lettuce/cucumber, etc) 9. a green toy (frog/hulk?) 10.a green toy car 11.a green shoe 12.a green blouse/shirt I don't know how many things you're looking for but I think they should all be 'green related' for St. Patrick's day! How about just seeing who can find the most 'green' items regardless of what they are, even leaves or grass count here if anyone thinks of those! RE: Scavenger Hunt Ideas Post By (Guest Post) (03/07/2006) If its a St Pat's Day party, how about making all the items on your list green-a green candle, a green lollipop, a can of split pea soup, box from green jello, green ribbon or barrette... Scavenger Hunt Ideas Post by ThriftyFun (3945) | (01/01/2005) Profile | Blog! | Contact Request: I am looking for some neat ideas to make a list for a scavenger hunt this weekend. We are having a large party with adults and kids of all ages and are going to try to do a "go to people you know" neighborhood hunt. I have looked up scavenger hunts on the net and many of them you have to pay for and the free ones haven't helped much. Any ideas are helpful. Tawnda Answers: RE: Scavenger Hunt Ideas Post by mkymlp We did one in the evening and any neighbors who wanted to participate left their front light on. If it's not dark, you can probably tell them to tie a ribbon on their mailbox or something of that nature. The participating neighbors had no idea what they would need. We made a list of things to collect: a canceled stamp, a picture of a cat, a red ball of yarn, a candy wrapper, etc. Just about anything that can be gathered and put in a plastic or paper bag. We didn't include anything valuable or breakable, in case something became lost or broken. We had teams. Each team were given a list and a bag and a time limit. Each team scavenged the same neighborhood. The first to collect everything on the list and bring it to the home base was the winner. No prizes involved, just plain fun. Every one had a blast. Even the neighbors who participated. Be sure to mention to everyone, to use common sense and keep safety in mind. RE: Scavenger Hunt Ideas Ann (Guest Post) In the recent magazine, PTO Today, a school had a great scavenger hunt. They collected band aids, paper clips, penny, piece of bread, box tops, Campbell's label and the list goes on. It sounds fun. Have a great time. RE: Scavenger Hunt Ideas Michele (Guest Post) I am with the above idea. The extended family here has them and they always include the local lil diner. They are to go get a ice cream cone, fry container etc.. They have it every year and it is always different. They do have prizes but it is usually like a pizza gift card or something similar. Good luck and have fun. Be safe. RE: Scavenger Hunt Ideas How about-empty tomato soup can, bobby pin, red or blue pencil, anything or a piece of something with a Barbie label, vegetable seeds, inflatable pool ring, certain color balloon, torn pantyhose, plastic strawberry basket, plastic easter egg, foreign flag. Make the teams a mix of adults and kids so the kids are well chaperoned. RE: Scavenger Hunt Ideas gloria (Guest Post) you can go with less direct and lets everyone to be more creative with there picking out of items. here are some suggestions for the scavenger hunt: something that bounces, something that stretches, something that smells good, something that you can eat, something that's fuzzy, something that's rough, something liquid, something clear, something that makes noise, something that has all the colors of the rainbow and something that's sticky. you can print the items they need to find out on paper and give each person one with a pencil so they can cross out what they have done and also right what it was they found. The first one to complete it should get a prize but you can have lots of prizes so know one feels left out. RE: Scavenger Hunt Ideas Kayli (Guest Post) I just attended a high school girls sleep over w/my church yesterday night, and wed id a scavenger hunt. We had a list of 20 things we had to do. Our scavenger hunt was a digital picture one. We took pictures of things instead of taking them. WE split into 2 teams (but you can also have 3 or 4 smaller groups) We had an hour and a half time limit. Each team has a diver. Every one gets in the car, then opens the list. The rules are every one on your team has to be in every picture, and your driver can not give you any clues. Things on list were take a picture at a yellow house, at a gravestone, w/a Walmart greeter, Upside down in front of a neon sign. Some other things were take a picture w/your whole team jumping in the air, in a church members (or friends) Bathtub. None of the pictures can be taken at the hosts house. that's it. I hope you have a much fun as we did!
