R-CA Presents FAMILY TREASURE HUNT
Children and adults alike love scavenger hunts. Why not add a genealogy twist by changing up the questions? It’s a fun and inexpensive family activity and a way to get children interested in genealogy. Make a list and have the participant(s) fill in the names of the people who fit the clues. The participants with the most names filled in by the allotted time wins.
You can customize your own questions to suit your family. Here are some sample questions:
The oldest/youngest person in the family.
The person with the most children.
The most recent newlywed.
The longest married couple.
The one who most recently celebrated his/her birthday.
The person who lives the closest/farthest away.
The person with the longest/shortest hair.
Someone who has lived in more than one country/state.
Someone who speaks the most languages.
Rides or drives a truck/bicycle/airplane/semi/trailer to work.
As a bonus, you can give certificates to the people who fit some of these categories, and the scavengers have already done the legwork for you to tell you who fits the criteria.
