What is a Scavenger Hunt?
A scavenger hunt is a fun kids activity that is also educational. Armed with a list of specific items, children set off to gather the items on the list.
Scavenger hunts are easy to customise according to your child’s abilities and interests.
The great thing about a scavenger hunt for kids is that it is such an easy activity that you can do at home, and you don’t require much organisation at all. Plus, the lists are themed and contain items that can be easily found.
The other great thing about organising a scavenger hunt is that weather doesn’t matter. An outdoor scavenger hunt is great if the weather is nice as it makes a great summer kids activity. And if it is cold and rainy, and you are looking for a good winter activity for kids, you can do an indoor scavenger hunt.
In this post you can find a range of different scavenger hunt lists with words and pictures that you can print off and use over and over again. You are going to love these scavenger hunt ideas for kids.
