What better way to celebrate the last day of school than with a scavenger hunt? It's perfect for an "I survived the first week of school" celebration too. It's a wonderful way to get kids active and have some fun.
Here is an example of the sign I made to let my boys know that a treasure hunt was underway after the first week of school.
I hung it on the door so it was the first thing they saw when they got home from school. They found the sign and the first clue.
Then, they followed the first clue to the second clue... and so on.
They raced all around our neighbourhood solving riddles and finding clues... until they found the treasure!
Fun, right? It involved a bit of prep work, but our neighbourhood scavenger hunt was a lot of fun. It's the perfect way to celebrate the last of school!

Halloween is about more than candy. It is about decorating, dressing up, and having some fun. Today, I am sharing a fantastic Halloween scavenger hunt that you can share with your kids. It is perfect for a Halloween party, but it would be great for a simple activity at home too. And... you can download it for FREE below!
To download the scavenger hunt: right-click on the picture above, save it to your computer, and print it like a regular 8X10 photo. I printed mine at my local office supply store for $0.39.
You can send the kids out in the neighbourhood looking for the items, or you can print the cards (below) for an easier search. To download the cards: right-click on the picture below, save it to your computer and print it like a regular 8X10 photo. I printed mine onto card stock (for heavier cards) at my local office supply store for $0.48.
If the weather is good, I love the idea of making this an outdoor event.
Isn't this Halloween scavenger hunt a fun idea? If you use my free downloads, let me know.
Happy Hunting!

A few years ago, I designed a simple scavenger hunt for my boys, and it was a lot of fun. It continues to be a very popular post, so I thought it would be fun to design an updated version. You can download and print the NEW nature scavenger hunt for free below.
This printable list is perfect for little ones that can't read, but it is fun for older kids too.
