Hide and Track

You and your kids can turn a game of hide-and-seek into a fun way to practice your tracking skills!

  1. Gather together little bits of common household scraps -- dryer fluff, shredded paper, nutshells, apple or orange peels, etc. -- to serve as the "signs" left behind by the "animal" in this tracking game.
  2. Have the trackers close their eyes while the "animal" finds a hiding place, leaving a trail of "signs" along the way.
  3. Adapt the game for different ages and skill levels by leaving obvious or difficult trails to follow.
