Travel Scavenger Hunt

Travel Scavenger Hunt is similar to the traditional scavenger hunt party game except that it is an observation game for car trips.

Age: Adults and older children

No. of players: 2 or more

Equipment: A list of thirty items

Time: 15 minutes+

Aim: The aim is to be the first player to observe all the objects on their list.

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.
