Finding items with specific characteristics helps children develop literacy skills and critical thinking and is a great way to get moving at home!

Materials

Safari gear:

  • Hat
  • Bag
  • Paper and pencil to create a map (optional)
  • Toilet paper tubes to create binoculars or a spyglass (optional)

Move Together

First, put on your safari gear. Every great explorer has a hat for the weather, a bag to collect their items, a map, and something to look through like binoculars or a spyglass. If you’re up for the challenge, make a map of your home so you can mark where you found your items or create your own binoculars or a spyglass with toilet paper tubes!

Find all of these items to complete your hunt:

  • Something fuzzy
  • Something that starts with the letter “R”
