[8] Scavenger Hunt
1 hr

Before the game, choose two equal teams and allocate a base to each. Pick up or list a number of objects which the players may find lying about in the area e.g.. beech nuts, holly leaves, berries, sweet wrappers. Difficulty should be related to age of players.

The teams or individuals must find as close matches to the objects you have listed/collected.

You can either display or hide the list/collection so that the players can or cannot come back and refresh their memories. The team with the display best matching the original wins.

Variations
1. Points can be allocated for each object, depicting the relative difficulty they are to find.
2. Objects can be shown/listed one at a time, with a limited amount of time to search and return to base.
3. Once collected, the teams can be tasked to arrange their collected objects into a picture of an animal, a monster, a household object etc, with extra points being awarded for creativity or realism.

Needful Things
Selection or list of common ‘outdoor’ objects
