Travel Scavenger Hunt requires a little preparation. Each player needs a list of about 30 items, with every person receiving a slightly different list. Each list could have twenty-five items in common and five items that are unique.

Choose items that you know you will see on your trip. Items could include:

telegraph pole
water tank
brick house
tractor
aeroplane
horse
barn
pizza shop
water tower
windmill
silo
pushbike
bird
cow
man in a suit
fuel stop
fence

1. As each player sees an object on their list, they cross it off.

2. The first player to finish their list wins.

Variations:
1. You may like to put together a picture list for younger children, with drawings or pictures of items.
2. Older children may enjoy a list of sounds rather than objects. For example, they have to hear a train whistle, a bird or a police siren before they can cross off that item from their list.
