Winter scavenger hunt clues
I live in Texas, where we use the phrase “snow day” to mean a day that’s really cold and has snow, ice, or sleet. We don’t get too many days with fluffy white snow around here. I wanted to make sure this would be a fun activity whether you live somewhere with mild winters or classic snowman-building weather.
This hunt includes 20 things that you can probably find in any neighborhood. You’ll find some seasonal things, like evergreens and pinecones. There are also weather-related items like snowballs and puddles.
And of course, I had to include a few easy items. You’ll probably bring a winter hat with you on your hunt.
