We needed a way to get the kids out of the house today.
Agustin preferred to sit inside and play on the iPad. Hannah and Kas were playing in the sand but every so often you could see them getting bored.
Then we had an idea- my sisters and I decided to create an ABC Scavenger hunt.
Meet the team
NICOLAS a.k.a. Nico, Kas
The eyes and ears of the group.
He was the leader of the group helping them to hunt out each of the objects
HANNAH a.k.a. Haney, Hannah Banana, Bean
The recorder. She would be responsible for capturing the items on film.
AGUSTIN a.k.a. Tin, Agus
The map. He would read off the items and direct the group to their next mission.

The kids had so much fun that they wanted another one.
Second time around we made it a 'silly scavenger'. Some of the things they needed to snap a picture of included Armpit, Butt, Cruddy old feet, earwax, Poop, Stinky Shoe, Toliet, Underwear
Half way through my camera died :-( They did get some pretty silly pictures however they lost interest of this scavenger once the camera went dark.
Funny story: Cruddy Old Feet
Hannah: "Oh I know! Grandma has old feet! Let's go!"

I don't think that story is so funny.....at least, they asked me what does "cruddy" mean? (after they took the pic)
LOVE this idea! I had also read somewhere that a good activity is to make your own alphabet book - where you photograph yourselves with different letters of the alphabet.... I keep thinking we need to do that with Violet.
