Quarantine Outdoor Scavenger Hunt

Get out in the fresh air and put your observation skills to the test
Need something to do while in quarantine? Embark on an outdoor scavenger hunt around your neighborhood. Challenge your friends, family members that are far away, or neighbors to do the same, and exchange photos! This is a great way to get out of the house and connect with those you care about, and do something with your time. 

 Below are a few clues you can use for your outdoor scavenger hunt. Get creative and come up with some of your own too! 

 1. A sign of spring
2. A sign of our Coronavirus times
3. A house or building feature that you like
4. Something that needs repair
5. Something that strikes you as humorous/ironic
Spending time outdoors will lift your spirits!
