Traditional Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt
Played by teams going door to door in a neighborhood and asking for items from their list. A sample list on a neighborhood scavenger hunt could be: an old shoe, teaspoon of flour, green crayon, popsicle stick, band-aid, etc. (Make sure you send adults out with each team.) Once the items are collected the first team back to the house within a certain time limit wins. Those who get back late are given a penalty - 1 item for every 5 minutes they are late.
