A kid-friendly scavenger hunt encouraging young explorers to find trees, insects, tracks, clouds, birds, rocks, flowers, and more while exploring Montana’s outdoors.

Create a cheerful display in the library where kids and families can pick up bingo cards and start exploring right away. 

Cards can include items kids are likely to see in Helena and the surrounding area. Items should be simple, visual, and discovery-oriented to make the game fun and accessible for all ages.

If you want to offer rewards without much staff time, simple incentives can add excitement while keeping things passive.

Create new cards every few months to reflect seasonal discoveries and encourage families to return again and again.

Aside from printing new cards occasionally and restocking pencils, the program runs itself. Kids and families explore at their own pace and discover Montana’s natural world on their own terms.
