Katrena's Indoor Scavenger Hunt #1 – Free Clues, Directions and Answers

Katrena's Scavenger Hunt #1 - Find Free Clues, Directions & Answers

Scavenger hunts can be great fun and educational too. Kids can hone their reading skills, thinking skills, and also learn about rhyming if the clues incorporate words that rhyme.

With three kids, I am often challenged to think of fun indoor activities that all of my kids can enjoy. I have found that they all absolutely love scavenger hunts. My two oldest kids can read, but the youngest one cannot, so I have the readers to take turns reading the clues. They all collaborate to decide where they will find the next clue and the youngest gets to the the group to that chosen spot.

Directions for Katrena's Indoor Scavenger Hunt #1
  1. Have the kids go to a room that will not have a clue with strict directions not to peek!
  2. Keep clue #1.
  3. Hide clue #2 at the answer for clue #1.

  5. Hide clue #4 at the answer for clue #3.
  6. Hide clue #5 at the answer for clue #4.

    You are a life saver!! I normally make these up on Easter and my girls are both in a hockey tournament this weekend. I thought I'd be up really late making these up and by fluke I found yours with a search - they are perfect! Thanks so much!

    Thank you so much. This was just what I was looking for to replace our outdoor Easter Egg hunt. We have too much snow to go outside so this will be perfect. I couldn't figure out where to hide the large bag of eggs, and the dryer was one place I hadn't thought of!

    I did design this scavenger hunt to be very simple, but you can easily make it harder in how you hide the clues. Many of my treasure hunts are simple, but I've made a few of them more challenging. Thanks for reading!

    My fellowship is having the Thanksgiving Sharing party and usually the kids would watch a movie next room. This year I can organize something more interesting and meaningful for the kids using your scavenger hunt idea. Thank you very much!

      Great! I hope they enjoy the hunt. I have quite a few scavenger hunts - hover over "pages" and look for scavenger hunts. If any of you are looking for something specific related to a holiday, you might want to take a look.

    This year at Christmas 4 of my 15 grandchildren want money. That is great since I hate to shop. Money will take the excitement out of the gift opening so I plan on using your "Indoor Scavenger Hunt" . this will be entertaining. :)
