I had the idea of trying to drag my niece and nephew (9 and 7) away from their computer games on Christmas day (and wear them out a bit ) by taking them out for a walk in the woods. I thought that making it into a scavenger hunt with prizes might make it more appealing...
Idea so far:
the largest pine cone
the longest feather
the largest collection of different leaves (with double points for those correctly identified)
the largest number of items of litter (there is a bin as we leave the woods to dispose of them but I have a slight concern about what they might pick up)
longest/widest leaf of any type
I don't have much imagination with these things - does anyone have other suggestions for things we might look out for?
