Turn a regular afternoon into a fun adventure with this scavenger hunt. Pair kids up in groups of two or three, outfit them with the following list and a bag, then send them knocking on neighbor's doors to gather as many items as they can in an allotted time---an hour works great and is just enough time to bake up a batch of cookies while they're away. The winning team gets an extra cookie!
