Zoo Scavenger Hunt

I bring my son to the zoo about once per month because he absolutely loves it and we have a membership so it doesn't cost a lot of money (he gets in free because he's under 3 so I just have a single membership).  I decided to make things interesting this time and make it into a scavenger hunt.  I printed up a page of animal pictures, laminated it, punched a hole in it, and put in on a lanyard.  As we went through the zoo he would "circle" the animals as we saw them.  He LOVED it!  A few people wanted to see what he was up to and asked to see his stickers (I don't know why, but everybody thought they were stickers).  By mid-day my super shy son was walking up to random people showing him his list like Wayne and Garth in Wayne's World.

You can print it here.

I think he had a good time...

Lyrics: The Ants Go Marching

The ants go marching one by one.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stops to suck his thumb,
And they all go marching down to the ground,
To get out of the rain. Boom!  Boom!  Boom!  Boom!

The ants go marching two by two.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching two by two.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching two by two, 

The little one stops to tie his shoe,

And they all go marching down to the ground, 

To get out of the rain. Boom!  Boom!  Boom!  Boom!

The ants go marching three by three.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching three by three.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching three by three, 

The little one stops to climb a tree,

And they all go marching down to the ground, 

To get out of the rain. Boom!  Boom!  Boom!  Boom!

The ants go marching four by four.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching four by four.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching one by one, 

The little one stops to shut the door,

And they all go marching down to the ground, 

To get out of the rain. Boom!  Boom! Boom!  Boom!

The ants go marching five by five.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching five by five.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching five by five, 

The little one stops to take a dive,

And they all go marching down to the ground, 

To get out of the rain. Boom!  Boom! Boom!  Boom!

The ants go marching six by six.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching six by six.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching six by six, 

The little one stops to pick up sticks,

And they all go marching down to the ground, 

To get out of the rain. Boom!  Boom! Boom!  Boom!

The ants go marching seven by seven.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching seven by seven.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching seven by seven, 

The little one stops to pray to heaven,

And they all go marching down to the ground, 

To get out of the rain. Boom!  Boom! Boom!  Boom!

The ants go marching eight by eight.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching eight by eight.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching eight by eight, 

The little one stops to shut the gate,

And they all go marching down to the ground, 

To get out of the rain. Boom!  Boom! Boom!  Boom!

The ants go marching nine by nine.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching nine by nine.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching nine by nine, 

The little one stops to check the time,

And they all go marching down to the ground, 

To get out of the rain. Boom!  Boom! Boom!  Boom!

The ants go marching ten by ten.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching ten by ten.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

The ants go marching ten by ten, 

The little one stops to say, "The end,"

And they all go marching down to the ground, 

To get out of the rain. Boom!  Boom! Boom!  Boom!
