April #GetOutside Photo Scavenger Hunt

Spring has sprung in many parts of the country – and soon will in others (hopefully!). It’s time to get outside and explore nature!

The Children & Nature Network is kicking off a huge event in a couple of days called Let’s G.O.! (Get Outside) Month. The idea is to rally people of all ages to play, serve and celebrate nature during the month of April.

I decided to show my support by creating a photo scavenger hunt – with a bent on nature, of course!

Every day, you’ll be inspired to get outside with your kids, snap a photo and share it with the rest of us. Your only rule: Have fun! (And don’t be afraid to let the kids take a photo or two!)

April #GetOutside Photo Scavenger Hunt 

How to Play
Get your free printable #GetOutside Photo Scavenger Hunt list. Post it somewhere you’ll see it every day. Once you’ve taken a photo, there are lots of ways to play along:

• Share your photo on the Go Explore Nature Facebook page or on Instagram (follow me @goexplorenature).
• I’ll be using the hashtag #GetOutside for @goexplorenature Instagram and Twitter followers to share their photos. 
• If you’re on Pinterest, send me your username & follow any of my boards; you can then add your photos to my April #GetOutside Photo Scavenger Hunt board.
• And if you’d love to play along but have no desire to share your photos publicly, I hope you’ll still get outside. At the end of the month, you’ll have a wonderful collection perfect for a photo book!

This game is meant to be fun, so don’t worry if you miss a day or post a photo on the wrong day. The point of all of this is to get outside with your family and connect with nature.

• Spring Nature Scavenger Hunt (and if it’s still cold in your neck of the woods, try the Winter Nature Scavenger Hunt instead)
• Search for a Let’s G.O. event happening in your community

Note: I must give a huge nod to both Papercoterie and FatMumSlim who inspired me with their fun daily photo challenges on Instagram.
