Fall Scavenger Hunt (Free Printable)

fallscavengerthing

It’s getting colder outside but we at Kinder Buddies Oakville understand the importance of fresh air. A fun way to keep children engaged and learning is by playing games, and a scavenger hunt can be just the game you need!

We have created a free printable for you to use on your hikes/walks this fall to keep your little one engaged. If you would like to create your own list there are many ways to create your list.

Scavenger Hunt Themes

  • Things based on Colour: One item of each colour
  • Things based on Texture: Shiny, smooth, rough ect
  • Fall Sounds: Rustling Leaves, Crow, Crunchy Leaves underfoot
  • Fall Animals: If you live in a more rural area you may be more likely to see Hawks, Deer, Foxes ect.

Conducting your Scavenger Hunt

  • Take a photo: Instead of physically collecting each item, have your child take a photo with a camera or your phone. Collect photos to print for later.
  • Collect: Children can collect each item in a paper bag. Fall leaves are great for a number of crafts!
  • Treasure Trail: Set up your backyard in advance with a map with each fall item leading to a prize at the end.
  • Use a Checklist: Use a checklist with pictures (much like the one we have created) and have little ones check off each item while keeping it in it’s natural home.

Happy Hunting!
