Organizing a scavenger hunt in the zoo is an exciting activity for people of all ages. It combines exploration, education and fun, as participants can learn about the different animals living in the zoo while completing tasks to win prizes.
To organize a successful scavenger hunt in the zoo, follow these steps:
- Start by drafting out a list of tasks that participants have to complete during their time at the zoo. These tasks could include spotting certain animals, finding out facts about them or activities like singing a song near one of their enclosures.
- Assign points to each task so that teams can keep track of their progress and compete fairly towards the end goal (e.g., spot an elephant = 5 points).
- Come up with some enticing prizes for the winning team such as free admission tickets or stuffed animal souvenirs from the gift shop.
- Provide instructions and any relevant materials like maps or clipboards to participants before they start.
- Set a time limit for completion (such as two hours), and once that’s up, announce the winner!
A scavenger hunt is a great way to encourage exploration within zoos while still having lots of fun and adventure.
