Scavenger Hunt

Having a partner help me to find the items to find helped me because I had 4 eyes looking for one thing rather than only 2 eyes looking. Also we could look in different places rather than just me looking in one place. When i take road trips with my family we play the Alphabet game. We try and find each letter of the Alphabet and instead of just me looking my whole family is looking. We were looking for specific things so it was a lot like the scavenger hunt.
