Nature Scavenger Hunt
Cool! Thanks very much to Lee, a Cadette/Senior leader in AZ, for posting this game to the WAGGGS-L Mailing List!
Try to figure out the answers to the puzzles and find
the things on the list below. You may or may not be able to find everything.
When you find an item, check it on the list and write down where it was. This is
a look-and-see hunt. Do your best not to disturb anything. Many plants are food
or homes for other living creatures, so be careful as you explore. 1. You
can take a horse to this, but you can't make him drink. What is this? 2.
What does the early bird catch? 3. What's always greener on the other
side of the fence?
Find these items, and write down where they were:
