You know how kids get so excited when you visit a new playgroud? One that has 'monkey bars that are cooler than the ones at our old playgroud' or 'the biggest slide in the world', right?
So, why not take them on a Playground Scavenger Hunt!
Use this list and visit different playgrounds so the kids can try out the various types of equipment that can be found at kids play areas. Not only will they have fun on the new equipment they find, but just seeking out different playgrounds will become a great family adventure!
