Only do this in an area where you can have good control over the kids (noise and damage -- and make sure they can't injure themselves. Warn them away from or block off areas where things could be damaged.)
If you don't have time to make up a scavenger hunt list before the kids show up, hide a few things around the room and divide the group into teams. Have each team make a list of things for the other teams to find. Pull all of them out of the room and give each team (or person, if the group is small enough) an additional item to hide. Add that to the list.
Swap lists.
Turn them loose.
This can also be done to good effect with outdoor activities (make a rubbing of a leaf shaped like an arrowhead, find a bird, find an oak tree, etc)
