One that worked at my son's party was using some of the gazillion stuffed animals that seem to multiply exponentially in my home, jungle themed and put them in various places around the house, take digital photos of the animals print them on a sheet table style with big squares beside them, give the kids bingo dabbers and have them look for the animals. We also made binoculars out of toilet paper rolls and yarn (taped together, punch holes & attach yarn)and marked the kids names on them and had them decorate them with stickers before starting the search.

Another option is buying inexpensive bugs at the dollar store, and do the same hide & seek kind of thing, we were going to use those giant bug puppets from Price Club and then have little containers of the dollar store bugs near them for the kids to collect 1 each and put it their dollar store bugbox (and party favor!)
