TRY THIS SCAVENGER HUNT WITH YOUR KIDS
(My assistant not included.)
Every week for my assistant is somewhat of a “choose your own adventure” book. Sometimes she starts her day, thinking she’s escorting me to a television show, but she ends up in a basement on 47th St. haggling with a cad maker about a vintage pendant I want to recreate. Other times I make her fly with me to Israel, sit with me in dry saunas, hold my hand as I get my face lasered, and talk to me on the phone when I accidentally get lost while driving.
This week I asked her to help me create a scavenger hunt for the kids around the West Village. Sid was an asshole afterschool on Thursday so I knew I wasn’t going to be giving him his Ipad. I also didn’t want him spending his Saturday sitting in front of the TV sneaking YouTube. Lazlo had a friend sleeping over and without an activity, I knew the apartment would quickly devolve into Lord of the Flies. This is what we came up with.
