Nature Bingo & Scavenger Hunts
Nature bingo and scavenger hunts connect us with the seasons while getting kids outdoors and teaching young naturalist through experiential learning.
This spring take your kids out into nature and go on a hunt for moss on a log, a tail marker, signs of a woodpecker, fiddleheads, spider webs, and even smells and sounds of spring. Download Mass Audubon Spring Walk Bingo Cards to get started. There are several versions so a group can play together! This is a fun activity to get the family outside, observing their surroundings and engaging their senses.
