Tips on settings up a successful Outdoor Scavenger Hunt
Preparation is key for a successful scavenger hunt. You'll want to make sure you have collected all your clues, have planned your route and made a note of each of the solutions in advance. The good news is we've done all the hard work for you with our outdoor scavenger hunt. It comes with all the instructions you need and our suggestion for a fun route but if you are making your own at home here are a few things to bear in mind.
Spread your clues, if you can. Scavenger hunts are the most fun when racing from one spot to another. Bearing this in mind spread out your clues as much as possible from one area of the garden to another.
Don't make it too easy. Be sure to hide your clues to make sure kids really have to search for them. If the clue solution is a flower bed, for example, why not hide a card in a flower pot on in some soil to extend the excitement and prolong the fun.
