Activity Idea - Food Hunt

Find about 25 small, similar items (Lego men, quarters, bottle caps, etc), these are now your food.  Designate one room in your house the hunting zone and leave that area. Have another famliy member hide your food aroudn the hunting zone. When they are finished set a stopwatch and see how long it takes you to find all your food items. Try again with a different hunting zone, or switch places and hide the food for the other person.
