Outdoor school scavenger hunt ideas
A schoolyard or campus-wide hunt works well for field days, orientation, or club events — teams cover more ground than an indoor version allows, and the tasks can use the whole campus instead of just one building.
- ·Use campus landmarks (the oldest building, the main office, the flagpole) as check-in points.
- ·Multiple-choice tasks about school facts are an easy way to sneak in real information new students should know.
- ·Set a clear boundary for how far teams can roam — a campus map with the play area marked prevents wandering off.
1. What's the event?
