Here are two great ideas for autumn scavenger hunts that work in some reading and alphabet practice too!
– Make a checklist for an autumn "treasure hunt". Idea found here. This is the list they used:
- something that is alive
- a leaf with jagged edges
- an interesting weed
- a dry leaf
- a leaf with smooth edges
- three acorns
- a seed from a tree
- a twig
- a pinecone
- a handful of grass
- a feather
- a branch with leaves on it
- a red leaf
- a yellow leaf
- a green leaf
- a smooth stone
- three little pebbles
- wild berries
- a leaf bud
- a piece of bark
- a tiny bit of moss
– Or you can take an ABC nature walk. Fill up a bag with interesting "materials" you find on your walk and use them to make the letters of the alphabet. Photograph the letters and use them in a project!
