What Skills Can Your Children Learn and Practice?
Here are a few of the skills that your little ones can learn and practice when completing this scavenger hunt:
- Visual Scanning and observational skills – The ability to use their vision to search in a systematic way, from top to bottom or left to right.
- Pencil Grip and Pencil Control – Any time your child picks up a pen or pencil is a great chance to practice and develop these skills and if you choose the black and white version they can color in.
- Gross Motor Skills – as they’re walking (or likely running) around looking for the cards.
- Social skills – such as listening, taking turns, and communicating with their friends and family.
- Counting – They can count how many things they’ve found – or how many they still need to find.
