20 Things You Don't Want Your Kids Doing on a Scavenger Hunt

Dancing on a grave and driving 100 mph are among the activities Long Island students received "points" for during a scavenger hunt.

A high school class scavenger hunt on Long Island has caused an uproar after a list of activities that ranged from the unsavory to the outright illegal was published by Sachem Patch.

There is no indication of how many students from Sachem East High School took part in the Sunday night scavenger hunt, which was not sponsored by the school, or how many of the items on the list were actually completed, but one local resident told Patch the students “created havoc all through the town.”
