It’s finally summer which means the kids are out of school. We’re working on our summer reading,which we’re taking care of by going through the entire Percy Jackson and the Olympians series before the end of this summer. Brooklin is done with Book 2: The Sea of Monsters and just startedBook 3: The Titan’s Curse
In these books Percy’s story continues with our hero trying to find out if being claimed as Poseidon’s son is an honor or simply a joke. Percy goes on a major quest in book 2, where the series’ main adventure really starts to unfold, leading into book 3. Percy is a problem solver and there’s a lot in store for him, and I have to say that by the end of the second book Brooklin was beyond excited to start the third. This is exactly why I wanted her to pick a series for summer reading: so she’d be eager to move from one book to the next.
We’ve been looking for ways to incorporate the books we are reading this summer into some fun activities, and so I created this outdoor adventure hunt. To participate, you can download this FREE Percy Jackson Outdoor Adventure Hunt Printable.
You can help make Percy Jackson and the Olympians come to life on your next trip to the beach with this themed adventure hunt for items your kiddos can easily find along any beach. My daughter Brooklin loved that it was like a treasure map. She had so much fun bringing the series to life in a realistic way before getting back to reading.
You can learn more about the series by Rick Riordan on ReadRiordan.com Do your kids plan on reading any series this summer? Join us in reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians before summer’s end!
Bringing a book and making it a real life adventure is awesome. You have the perfect book to start with. I am sure you had so much fun doing this.
Oh my, I loved these books so much as a kid. Would love to set this up.
I really liked Percy Jackson in the movie and recreating a beach adventure based on him is so cool! So fun and exciting!
My kids loved the Percy Jackson books. The idea of doing an adventure hunt is so cool!!!
So fun! These books look great! I need to actually read these as well!
I’ve never read the Percy Jackson books! But I’d like to. And this is such a fun idea for those who enjoy the series 🙂
We used to do lots of treasure hunt on the beach when my daughter was younger, so much fun. She loved it so much, we had to take her to the beach every week, luckily we are at 15 miles from it.
I love Percy Jackson books. I’ll telly my niece about this. We can have a great adventure together.
You just brought back such happy memories! As a school principal I helped run an afterschool book club and one year all we read were Percy books! So fun!
Very cool idea! Giving me some ideas of some fun events to organise for my friends. Definitely applicable to adults!
What a beautiful idea for teens! My niece will love it!
Love fun activities that get kids to love books and reading. Getting fresh air with an enjoyable physical activity at the beach really bring Percy Jackson to life, too.
I think I may have to read one of these books too! I am always looking for new books for me and the kids.
I have heard so much about these books lately. Looks like I’m going to have to get them for my daughters. Hopefully they’ll enjoy these too!
I love seeing you helping the kids to create something memorable. Books and beach activities – what can beat it?
My daughter loves fantasy/adventure type books. I’ll have to check these out for her!
My kids have been reading every day this summer. I’ll have to grab the Percy Jackson books for them. I don’t think they’ve ever read them!
This was so clever! Those books are so popular right now. Definitely a good choice for some summer reading!
I love that y’all made a scavenger hunt! How fun! I’ll have to check out these books for my daughter!
A treasure hunt on the beach sounds so fun. I would love to do this with my kids.
This sounds like a great book! I know my kids would love to read this.
The Percy Jackson books are so good. My kids love them. I actually read them, too, and I couldn’t put them down.
