Pick one of your favorite places to visit: the aquarium, arboretum, or museum. Go to their website, and with your child, find pictures of 5-10 different things to look for. Then create a list for your child, adding pictures may be helpful for young ones. When you go to the place, you and your child will have a great time looking for those items. An alternate way to play is to find pictures of buildings or other structures that can be seen from the street. Then play a driving game of scavenger hunt. This version is great for road trips.
Materials Needed: Computer and paper.
Ages: 3-6 year olds
This is a great way to keep a child's attention and really explore all the things the attraction has to offer!
