Enjoy spring season with a scavenger hunt

If your children – or you! – need a little extra motivation to get outdoors and enjoy a beautiful spring day, why not challenge yourself to a scavenger hunt?

See if you can find the following:

• A red bird and a blue bird
• Flowers just starting to grow
• A squirrel
• A rabbit
• Something rough and something smooth
• One yellow item, one blue item, one red item and one brown item
• The sound of a bird singing or chirping – can you copy the sound?
• Animal tracks
• Tree seeds, like pinecones and “helicopters”
• Three different types of trees – if they don’t have leaves yet, try distinguishing them based on the bark
• Another animal besides a rabbit, bird or squirrel
