Set up your adventure

  1. Print this packet on US Letter paper. Set aside page 5, the grown-up answer key.
  2. Choose a clear spot to sit or stand together. Stay in that spot for the lookout breaks. Keep plants, insects and other objects where they are.
  3. Play by a window or use a view of the room for the lookout breaks indoors. If you can't see an example, imagine one. All five clues can be solved on paper.
