Never heard of a scavenger hunt? Well, here’s how it works. Get a bunch
of your friends together and divide into teams. Set a time to findas many
things as possible on the list below. The team with the most items from
the list at the end of that time wins. No friends around? That's OK. Challenge
yourself to see how many things you can find.
Hint - The internet is a good source!
Of course, there are a couple of rules:
1. Be sure to ask the owner’s permission before you borrow something
on the list
2. Be sure to return anything you borrow! And don’t forget to
tell an adult before you leave the house
See if you can find these (if you don’t know what something is, ask
an adult):
