Benefits of the Scavenger Hunt for the Beach

This beach scavenger hunt is great as a go-along with your ocean theme. It provides many benefits for your student.

Scavenger hunts boost observation skills. As your child looks for objects, he will develop better observation skills.
Scavenger hunts require movements; this promotes gross motor development.
A scavenger hunt can provide safe sensory input for your student (feel the slimy seaweed, smell the salty air, listen to the waves lapping, etc.)
If you work on the scavenger hunt as a team, it will promote cooperation and social skills development.
