What’s So Cool About a Christmas Scavenger Hunt Printable
Seriously, it doesn’t get any easier than this. Here is exactly why you should try this printable scavenger hunt for Christmas this year:
- It’s FREE!
- There’s no prep (Just print and go!)
- There’s no work! Kids find things already laying around!
- There’s no clean up!
Seriously, is this not the BEST activity for kids?!
Instructions for Your Kids Christmas Scavenger Hunt
1. Grab access through the form below. (It’s easy, and you’ll have access to many more freebies too!)
2. Print out the download from the free resource library (#12)
3. Then, have the kids hunt for items around your house in a race against each other. Or they search around your neighborhood. If you have lots of time, do both!
You may choose to use a time limit and the child with the most items found at the end of the time wins. Or, go until one child has found them all! Again, a lot depends on your time!
What if You Don’t Have Items on the Printable List?
Now, in this worksheet, you’ll find items that are SUPER common around the holidays. But, what if you don’t have something on the list?
Don’t fret. Get creative!
When you’re missing something, one option is to pull up a photo on your phone or tv when the kids walk by. Another is to go out and look around the neighborhood.
However, if you decorate at all for Christmas, chances are you’ll have most or all of the hunt items!
Bonus: A Christmas Photo Scavenger Hunt for Kids
Here’s an awesome way to add an exciting element to the hunt! All kids LOVE technology, so give the older kids a camera and have them take photos of their scavenger hunt finds. They’ll have a blast showing you their treasures when the game ends!
