How to use scavenger in a sentence?

  1. Nikki Murray:

    We came up with very simple scavenger hunts that anyone could do. It's just thinking about all the crazy things that you have in your home, like like tools in the garage or maybe stuff in the kitchen, just being silly with it, like something green that could protect you from the rain. I had a kid pull a bucket from under his sink and he put it on top of his head like, look, this is the perfect rain hat.

  2. Stephen Yalof:

    We also have a fun The Elf on the Shelf scavenger hunt planned where we've placed the elves around our centers, some are inside of stores or at the food court.
