[quote=Anonymous]I always do a scavenger hunt for my December birthday kid. (Did it at ages 5, 7, 8, and 9–now he says he’s bored with it, but it was great while it lasted!). We have a tight knit neighborhood, so I typically ask neighbors if I can leave clues on their front stoops, and then the kids race around piecing together clues. The prize at the end of the scavenger hunt is typically the big party activity (such as new game to play) or the party favors. One year they actually gathered all the party snacks. The scavenger hunt usually takes 30+ minutes, and costs virtually nothing. Actually, twice now I’ve given them all a clue sheet when they arrive, so they spend 20+ minutes working on the clues as people arrive, and then they set out on the hunt, where they pick up pieces, so it ends up occupying them for a long time. Anyway, I’m bummed that my December kid doesn’t want one again this year, but now my November kid is asking for one. :)[/quote]
