Resources
- Scavenger hunt list
- Pens
Preparation
None, other than printing off the list below.
Teams
This game can be played in small teams if you have a group of players, or individually if you only have a few people taking part.
Instructions
Give each player / team a copy of the number scavenger hunt list and a pen. Explain that their challenge is to collect all of the items on the list.
The twist is that they have to collect the exact number allocated for each item – for example, 7 rolls of toilet paper and 19 pennies.
Points
Award one point for each item that is collected – this means that there’s a total of 210 points up for grabs (1 + 2 + 3, etc)
Winner
The winning player / team will be the one that collects all of the items first.
If none of them manage to collect all the items within the time limit, the winner will be the person / team who earned the most points out of 210.
