Need Some Ideas – QUICKLY !!!

[Guest]

I had a mall scavenger hunt. I gave each person $5 or $10 to work

with, not sure it was 10 years ago. I made a list with free stuff

and stuff I needed for my house. Everyone had one hour to hunt for

their treasures. We met at the food court and had a blast, they all

shared there stories. Some of the sales clerks were so nice and

helped the girls get better deals on things like washcloths.

Some of the items I listed were: a penny from the year you were born

(the birthday girl) a disposable cup (which I used for the soda I

brought with me), a perfume sample, bulk candy, a blue wash rag (my

bathroom is blue), white thread, a dog treat, a brochure, etc. I can

not remember everything, but they went off in groups. I got stuff

for my house and we still talk about it. I think I had around 15

items on the list. I went to the mall earlier and kind of looked

around for some items that would be useful and FREE. . The goal

was to come back with the most items from the list and the most

change! I had a prize for the winning team.

Then we had pizza and used the candy as our snack.

Hope this helps!
