Preparation

Teams

As mentioned above, this mall scavenger hunt can be played in a few different ways, depending on how many people will be taking part:

1. With just one child or as one group – Go around the mall trying to find the items. As you’ll be together, you can check off each item as you find it.

2. Several teams with an adult in each group – For a kids birthday party or as a youth group activity, assign a parent / youth leader to each team. They can therefore help ensure that no cheating happens!

3. Several teams without an adult in each group – If the young people playing are old enough to go around on their own (or if you don’t have enough adults for one per team), organize it as a photo scavenger hunt. The teams therefore need to take a photo of each item as proof that they found it.

Instructions

Give each team a copy of the list of items that they need to find during the mall scavenger hunt, as well as a pen to check off each one as they find it. If choosing the photo scavenger hunt idea mentioned above, ensure that each team has a camera available (cellphone cameras are fine).

Explain that their task is to find as many of the 100 items as they can. Arrange a time and place where they need to meet at the end, go through any other necessary rules and then send them off to hunt around the mall.

Points

Award 10 points for each item that a team manages to find. For the photo scavenger hunt option, you could also award bonus points if you feel like a team has used their creativity with any of the photos.

List

Here’s the list of 100 different items that the teams have to search for.
