PEANUT HUNT - Activity



Toss peanuts into a grassy area. Give everyone a paper sack. At a signal, start to hunt for the peanuts, dropping them Into the sack as found. See who gets the most. The one who got the last amount can scatter the peanuts for everyone to find again. Play several times.

A Peanut Carry Game can be played. Divide your group into teams. Give each team a bucket of peanuts with shells. Place an empty bucket at the goal line. At the signal, the first person in each team, reaches into the bucket of peanuts and places as many as possible on the back of his/her hand. The free hand is then put behind the back. At signal, team members head to the goal line and drop the peanuts into the bucket. If peanuts are dropped on the way to the goal line, they are not retrieved. The team who ends up with the most peanuts in their bucket wins!

If you have checked with parents that no children have peanut allergies, the peanuts could then be divided up and eaten.
