Do You Need To Find Everything on the Scavenger Hunt List?
Absolutely not! There’s no way that I could know exactly what things you have in your home or what you will find when you’re out so this is purely a list of popular items you might find.
There are some things on your Thanksgiving scavenger hunt that you’ll find pretty easy to look for like fall leaves and turkeys, but there’s also things on it that will take a little bit more effort and a bit more of a hunt outdoors.
Don’t worry about finding every item, after all no one wants to have their day ruined because they have to keep hunting until they find that elusive squirrel!
You could either give an allotted time to find as many items as you can or just go with a more relaxed activity coloring in items as you see them and seeing who gets the most.
