4. Pitch a tent

Set up barricades for giving away the hunters and venture out on the previous night along with other parents to hide small and inexpensive objects in and around the yards and houses where the folks will be participating.

Then, dole out the lists of all the items which the participants require to find on the big day and set them loose.
