Critters and Creatures Treasure Hunt

Day Four

Lions and tigers and bears. Oh, my! It’s an animal treasure hunt! That means that all the items on today’s hunt have something to do with the incredible critters and creatures God created.

You may look inside or outside for the items listed, but stay away from the pond and the parking lot. If you are working alone, complete the number of items that corresponds with your age (four if you are four, eleven if you are eleven, etc.) If you are working as a group, find at least twelve items.

You have until 6:15 pm to complete the hunt and bring your items and list back to the prize table. One prize per person. No prizes will be given after 6:15 pm, so take the plunge and begin!
