Geocaching is a fun activity for people of all ages. It is an around the world treasure hunt game. The coordinates of a geocache can be found at Geocaching.com, which you can then download onto a GPS or a phone with GPS. Geocaches are special things inside small boxes, like a necklace, a rubber duck, a mini doll, it could be ANYTHING, that you can hunt for using the coordinates from Geocaching.com. Once you find the mini box, you can take what’s inside, and leave something for the next person.

I think this game is an awesome idea! It’s interactive, and gets you on an exploring adventure! Who knows, maybe a Geocache is in my backyard! I would love to try this sometime, who wouldn’t? This is a very smart idea.

Perhaps we could have Geocaching at school! Volunteer students could hide Geocaches in school. They can bring in prizes to donate as the first prize. Wherever the students hide the Geocaches, they would write easy directions to the place from the learning commons. We’d tell everyone to bring in small items to school each day, in case they are chosen.

Then, at break time, some kids would be chosen (everyone is eventually chosen), and given directions to a Geocache. After they find it, they can take the item inside, and put in the one they brought. Then they return the directions so that another student can someday find the same Geocache! That would be fun!
