High-Flying Scavenger Hunt

Directions:

Scavenger hunts are always a lot of fun, but it's impossible to have one on an airplane. Or is it?

Your children can go on an exciting scavenger hunt without ever leaving their seats simply by using the complimentary airline magazines and in-flight catalogs stowed in the seat-back pocket in front of you.

Scan through the magazine and catalog ahead of time and make a list of scavenger-hunt treasure pictures. Pick photographs that lend themselves to interesting clues. A picture of a pool float in a catalog, for example, could be described as "something to keep your head above water," and the clue for a picture of a sandy beach could be "bring a towel and watch out for sea gulls."

When your kids are ready to go on their scavenger hunt, give them each a copy of the magazine or catalog, along with your list of clues, and send them off to find their treasures.
