| 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.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the nice feedback on my scavenger hunt, Alan!
ReplyDeleteYou 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!

ReplyDeleteGreat clues! You've saved me a lot of time!
ReplyDeleteThanks and happy hunting!
ReplyDeleteThank 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!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm glad you were able to find something helpful to you and hope you have a happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteit is simple ..... no toughness
ReplyDeleteI 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!

ReplyDeleteGreat! 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.
DeleteThank you.. It's family day and my husband hurt his foot so we're staying home. Now I can do this with the kiddos. It's such a nice idea.
DeleteSorry to hear your husband hurt his foot but glad you found my site full of fun things to do with the kids. Enjoy!
DeleteThis 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. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this! My kids have loved my scavenger hunts and I hope your grands will enjoy it too. If you hover over "pages" at the top of my blog, you'll find additional scavenger hunts. I have even created a Christmas-themed one!
