All the items are hidden in the "Forbidden
Forest" so the children should be in
teams of two to protect each other. (Re-name your
backyard or designate a part of a park... even
your garage works!)
Hide
the items...
Remind the children to only take one of each item,
not all of the items when they find out where
they are hidden.
Give
each guest a Harry Potter loot bag or bag you
make yourself...set a time limit and let the kids
run loose to find their treasures!
When
the Scavenger Hunt is over, these are then the
party favors for the guests to take home.
Buy
inexpensive items at a Dollar Store or toy store
and make your own list.. below is just a sample.
To
make this a more challenging game for older
kids, hide different amounts of each item...
for instance 3 snakes, 12 ants, 8 lizards, etc.
For
younger children, hide equal amounts of each
item so every child finds one of each item on
the list.
