Day 25~Frugal Family Fun: Scavenger Hunt

October31

One fun and frugal family activity is a fall scavenger hunt. Have fun with just your family, or invite a few friends to join in the fun. You can wrap up the festivities with pie and ice cream. Ask each family to bring a pie to help keep things simple.

Use your imagination to make your own list of items to find or use one of the lists below. Give each individual, family, or group a list of items to find and a bag for their goodies and you’re off! A digital camera can be used as a fun way to record items that are too large to carry.

Here is a great Scavenger Hunt list from EverythingMom.com. It’s unlikely you could find everything on the list, but it would make a great contest to see which team could find the most items. Or work on the entire list as a family, maybe taking more than one outing to find all the items.

Or try this ABC checklist or this more simple list of items to hide and find. Here is a pretty, ready-to-go list that involves getting to know your neighbors.

And you don’t need to freit if the weather is uncooperative. Simply use this fall newspaper scavenger hunt to have some fun!

Enjoy! (And don’t forget the pie and ice cream once you get home!)

    One knows that today’s life seems to be very expensive, however different people need cash for various things and not every one gets big sums cash. Hence to get quick business loans or commercial loan would be good solution.
