From a previous issue of PARENT RAP, here is Jackie’s idea for an inexpensive, fun day with the kids:

Yard Sale Scavenger Hunt:

1. Make a list of things for the children to scavenge at a local yard sale. Some ideas are something you eat from, a souvenir of some place or event, something you play with, something old, something homemade, a tool, something green (or blue or pink, etc.).
2. Give each child a set amount of coins and your list. Explain how a scavenger hunt works and that you can only use things purchased at the yard sale.
3. The child to get the most items for their list wins. The prize for winning could be simply status, or being able to choose the desert at dinner.
