A Mini-Scavenger Hunt on rindabeach.com

1/28/2023

Have you ever gone on a scavenger hunt? I have, and I had so much fun that I put them into two of my books – LAKE FUN FOR YOU AND ME and ZOE’S SCAVENGER HUNT FUN. Why? To get families out looking around the lake and doing things together.

I also started putting them into my vlogs. Have you ever watched to the end, until this slide comes up? That’s where I add in the hunt. To give kids, their parents and teachers a reason to look around my web site. Now it’s time to put it into a blog post. 

Button #1:  This is my home page. You can get there by going to rindabeach.com, or if you’re already there, click the ‘HOME’ button. Now for the hunt . . . scan my ‘Welcome’ message. Can you find the three links that are in it? Hint – they’re in blue.
Click on them, and each one will take you to one of my favorite places on the website. Enjoy!

                                                                     PS – the answer is below this image.​
Picture
                                                           ​The answers . . . kids, Beach Reads, and my Blog.

​
Button #2:  This is another button on my website – ‘ABOUT ME.’ I posted six paragraphs on it. The first two are Reader and Teacher, but there are four more.
​
             For the hunt . . . Can you find the other four answers? They’re posted below the image. 

Picture
         And the answers are . . . Storyteller, German friends & family, Writer, and Animal friends.  


Button #3:  This screenshot shows my ‘BLOG.’ I use it the most. I post a blog or two every week, and it usually takes 2 or 3 nights for me to finish one.  The next thing to find . . . What’s posted now? 
​

This screenshot ISN’T the answer. I took it before I started writing about my buttons. Back then Part 3 of Technophobia was up.

And the answer now . . . the first three buttons on my homepage. But if you look tomorrow night, January 30th or later, something else will be there. I wonder what it will be!
​
​
​Button #4:  Next up, ‘BOOKS.’ It’s my only button with a drop-down menu. When you hover, the titles of my three books appear. Do you see them, under my name?!

                                                Now, time to go hunting. Can you find my Book Trailer?
​                                                  I have three titles, but only one trailer. Good luck!
​
Picture
         And the answer . . . NEIL ARMSTRONG’S WIND TUNNEL DREAM. Click, watch, and enjoy.
         Would you believe a talented high school sophomore created it? I think he did a GREAT job!

​
​​Button #5:  Welcome to my contact page. It’s how you reach out to me, and how I reach out to you too.
The next thing to find . . . What subscription is free at rindabeach.com? 
​
Picture
The answer . . . My Newsletter!
That’s where you can see my blogs, book reviews, and videos.
Subscribe, and you’ll get new links every week.
​
​
​Button #6:  ‘FOR KIDS’ came from the second story I wrote. It started as a gift for a few friends.
Search and find . . . where do my friends live?      
​      
Picture
The answer – Germany. Can you find it on a map?

​
Button #7:  I use ‘MY READS’ at least once a week. They’re not the books I’ve written. They’re the ones I read as a writer. Children’s books build my sense of story. They grow my writing skills. I pick the best ones to share with you, the ones that match the blog post I just finished. I already have one waiting in the wings for tomorrow.
​
For this button – can you find the last book I shared on My Reads? It’s the one you see below, and it’s legendary. You’re searching for . . . the two animals that are part of that legend.
​
Picture
 And the answer is . . . the silver fox and the fire wolf.
​
Check this button tomorrow, and you’ll find the book I promised yesterday . . .
it’s about a different kind of search.

​

Button #8:  ‘SPEAKING’ is the last one, and it’s the end of our scavenger hunt. I hope it’s a happily ever after ending for you 😊

        The last thing to find . . . how many different kinds of school and library visits can I do for you?
​
Picture
​          And the final answer . . .  9! I have 9 different kinds of talks, at least I did when I put up this list.

I’ve thought of a few more since then . . . a wind tunnel demonstration and a journal writing/drawing experience. If there’s a talk that you need, but I don’t have it, ask. I’ll check to see what I can do, in person or on zoom.
​
                                                                   Tomorrow – what can you find on my reads?

    When I write, I can only have one voice in my head, mine.  A little noise is fine.  But too much, or worse yet, WORDS, and I must change rooms or pull out headphones.  Then I can write on!
