Summer is the time for traveling. And traveling with kids can be an interesting combination. A while ago I posted about our busy folders that we use for church and traveling. If you missed it you can check here: Busy Folders . Recently I added a homemade BINGO/scavenger hunt to our busy folders and wanted to share.
Have you tried BINGOS/scavenger hunts while you travel yet? They are so fun and they really work great for all ages. It's a fun new twist on the old games we used to play, you know before DVDs in the car.
You can search Pinterest for travel scavenger hunt ideas or even download printable ones, or you can make your own.
Some of our favorite themes and ideas include:
Fall ~ colorful trees, leaves
Easter ~ flowers, crosses, Easter eggs, bunnies
Christmas ~ Christmas lights, Christmas trees, manger, snow, Santa
Summer ~ flowers, trees
Special places ~ We travel to a couple different cities often and there are certain things our girls want to see. I include these on the scavenger hunt list as well. They make for easy spots to mark to keep it going and not drag on. For example, when I was little and we traveled to Missouri and my sister and I always watched out for the green bridges. So if you have a normal route you can think of places to add, this makes it more personable.
Items you could include on all or a basic list: red car, motorcycle, semi, street lights, highway sign, speed limit sign etc. I have included our Christmas and general one for you to use. Just click on the image and right click to save then print.
Tips and Tricks:
Pictures for younger kids vs. words
Markers to cross off the items
Going further:
If you want them to be reused; print on cardstock and laminate or use dry erase pockets. Then use dry erase markers & a reusable towel. This is great for themed scavenger hunts like; Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter etc.
