Scavenger hunts are popular at any time of the year, and here's a variation that you can play outdoors on a hot summer's day, or take inside for a wet afternoon - Grab It!
Make a list of things that you can find around your house or garden, and stand a player on either side of you. If you have more than two children to entertain, split them into two teams, and invite a player from each to start the game, then rotate contestants as the action continues.
To play Grab It!, simply read out the first item on your list. The two players must then run and grab the item mentioned, and bring it back to you to win a point. For example, you may call out 'Toothpaste!', and the first child back with a tube adds to their score. Then, move on to the next item on your list, and get them grabbing again.
