![]() Play! Play! Play!Muds runs, obstacle courses, trail games, I Spy, scavenger hunts—find playfulness in every adventure. We find this especially helpful for little kids, but all ages benefit from more play in their lives. Family games also make for great family traditions (there’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition when searching for firewood!). Bonus Tip: Get to know your local flora and fauna. Field guides are an awesome resource and make for a great way to engage your kid on a deeper level when on a scavenger hunt. ![]() “When my kids were little, we would go on scavenger hunts. Each of them received a brown lunch bag [and] written on that bag were items they had to find on our hike. Some items were easy, like acorns, a leaf, a stick. You can make it as challenging as you want and gear it to different ages. Maybe assign a ‘point value’ for each item and see who can collect the most points. It brought us a lot of fun and was another way to entice kids to get outside.” ![]() “Turn anything and everything into a game. Any sort of challenge or game seems to keep kids very interested and can be fun to join in as an adult, as well.”
