Collect items from nature – those already on the ground; avoid picking live plants and flowers. Once you have collected an amount that you find satisfactory, get some paper, get some glue, and create a collage. After the gluing, feel free to also draw, color, paint, whatever strikes your fancy.
Write a book review of your favorite or most read book.
Today is National Coloring Book Day! For regular readers, you will find a new downloadable coloring sheet on the sidebar link.
For the scavenger hunters:
Draw a coloring book page or coloring sheet. Post it in black and white so others can have fun coloring your page, and if you like you can color it and post that alongside the original.
Recommend a non-profit that you want people to know about and tell us about them, what they do, who they benefit, and whatever you can think of. Don’t forget to share the link.
Design a tattoo for yourself.
You do not need to get the tattoo for this item to count, but it should still be something that you would consider getting.
Write three (3) poems in the style of haiku. Use as your theme Kindness.
Perform an act of kindness.
You decide the act, the receiver. You can photograph something that represents the act (but do not photograph the receiver unless they give you explicit permission). You may also write up a short blog post about the act of kindness and why you chose it and the receiver. You may include how it made you feel.

Groucho Marx a piece of fruit.
After your photos are taken and posted, don’t forget to eat the fruit.
I designed this hunt to coincide with the traditional week of GISH that I’ve been participating in since 2013. I’ve designed scavenger hunts for classes I’ve taught as well as one for my kids to do on vacation, which went pretty well considering their ages. It might also have done well because their vacation bags included snacks and money, but I digress.
Whether or not I’ve thought of life as a scavenger hunt, I feel as though I’m always on the hunt, on the lookout for different things to bring to my website with music playlists, photographs, thoughts, and information, and doesn’t that sound a little bit like a scavenger hunt with no list to follow?
I’ve been working on this hunt for several weeks, and hope that its participants enjoy doing it.
Below are some rules and information. Any questions can be directed to me as a comment on this post or through email at: kbwriting11@gmail.com.
How to Hunt
Item #2 coming up!
Twice daily, items will appear on site.
Official rules will be posted this afternoon, but no worries, this is for fun. No judging, no judgment. Just do it.
For anyone familiar with my yearly scavenger hunt traditionally run by actor and activist, Misha Collins, there is always a mascot, a hybrid of two animals creating a new one. I don’t have that kind of energy. The mascot for my last hunt was a beeline – a bumblebee/ cat hybrid.
Our first item is to create your own mascot for this week. Design them, draw them, photoshop them, name them. My first draft is below the cut. I’ll be back this afternoon with a new post containing the day’s second item.
Good luck and most important, have fun!
