If you want to organize your kids an event to remember, think about a scavenger hunt for kids. It can be a birthday event or just a good day out. Having adults participating in the treasure hunt will give you more possibilities, but it is not a must.
First, think about how long you want your scavenger hunt to be. How old are the kids there? 2 hours might be the maximum time if the kids are very young, 4 hours is a good length for a longer scavenger hunt. Another option is to have a scavenger hunt as a side activity: you can introduce a list of photos to be taken during a weekend / a week / a camp etc. while doing other things.
Then, make a list of items to search and/or photos to take. You can choose to have the lists in a direct form (“bring me a boiled egg”) or make the hunt more demanding by giving hints, use encrypted texts and asking questions instead (“Bring me something matching the colors of the flag of Mexico”). Just remember not to make the questions too difficult to give the kids the opportunity to experience the joy of figuring out the right answer and keep the scavenger hunt fun. If you need more scavenger hunt ideas, choose the questions according to a theme. If you want to announce a winner in the end, make the scoring system easy to save time in the end.
Make sure every team has a camera, if photos are needed and a watch to keep up with the time. Announce the ending time clearly. Once all the teams have returned, it is a good idea to offer them something to eat while you count the points and figure out which team won. It can also be fun to watch the photos together. When you organize a scavenger hunt for kids, it is a good idea to have some small prizes to give out to every team.
