Benefits of the Indoor Scavenger Hunt for Kids

Going on a scavenger hunt indoors is great as a go-along with your house theme. It provides many benefits for your student.

Scavenger hunts boost observation skills. As your child looks for objects, he will develop better observation skills.
If you are stuck indoors, looking for items around the house will help your student get the wiggles out.
A scavenger hunt can provide safe sensory input for your student (feel the fuzzy teddy bear, taste the sweet fruit, smell something stinky or strong, listen to a musical instrument, etc.)
If you work on the scavenger hunt as a team, it will promote cooperation and social skills development.
Additionally, the bonus items will increase creative and critical thinking skills as your child has to determine what is soft, what is shiny, what is spotty, etc.
