It’s great when there are many ways to use a printable activity. Here are a few fun ideas to do with the kids.

1. Laminate and Use an Erasable Marker

Use self-adhesive laminating sheets to cover the scavenger hunt cards so they can be used over and over again.

We also recommend kids use a clipboard with storage to hold the erasable marker and eraser. Or you could attach a string to the clipboard and marker.

The photo scavenger hunt cards remain the same, but it becomes a whole new experience to find the subjects at different national parks!

Or use it at various locations in the park like the Visitor Center, on the drive to a site in the park, and at specific sites in the park.

It’s easy to start a new card at various points in the park when the card is laminated!
