Activity Use any of these activities in a family or neighborhood get-together. Or use your creativity to find ideas from other people or to make up your own. Treasure hunt. This activity is designed for preschool- and early elementary-age children. It is especially good for a park or other outdoor area, but children will also enjoy an indoor version on a rainy day. Make a list of items that the children could find fairly easily. If your hunt will be on the beach, include such items as sea shells, driftwood, and so forth. If your hunt will be in the mountains, use evergreen branches, rocks, and so forth. Make a copy of the list for each child. If some of the children cannot read, draw or glue on a picture of each item so even the young ones can find the items by themselves. Have the children find all of the items on their list, as they can, and put the treasures in their bags. Have them bring the items back to be checked off when they are finished. Award prizes–to the first person finished, to the person who found the most treasures, to each person, or for each treasure found. Simple prizes will turn this activity into a real favorite of the little ones. Can You Find Out?" This is a good activity to get everyone talking and learning new things about each other. Each person will need a copy of the worksheet "Can You Find Out?" and a pencil.
