We have taken the kids on almost all of our hunts. They are 10, 8, and 6. We find that bribery works well. Although we call it an incentive plan. For every 25 caches we find that means a trip to get ice cream. We just got number 100 and that meant that they get to pick a prize from geocaching.com (ie shirt, hat, patch, micro to hide, TB of their own, etc.) We just had a record day with them yesterday. We found 17 on our rush to get to 100. I was most worried about the 8 year old princess, but she is now some sort of weird combination of a ballerina and an entomologist. This is an awesome way to build family value and get exercise at the same time. We frequenly race to the cache. That whole "On your mark, get set, go" thing is an amazing motivator, especially for the 6 year old.
