Springtime Scavenger Hunt

I've created a free printable springtime scavenger hunt for you with lots of things to spot.

Scavenger hunts provide the perfect opportunity to go outdoors, explore nature and really notice what's around us.

Great for the weekends, holidays and adding fun to family walks, as well as a wonderful outdoor-themed birthday party activity!

Let's go on a Scavenger Hunt!

You will need:

printer
A4 paper
Springtime scavenger hunt download - at the bottom of the blog
clipboard or glue the scavenger hunt on to cardboard
pens/colouring pencils

I've created 2 versions of the springtime scavenger hunt. Both versions have 15 boxes with the name of the item to spot inside each box, for example, 'feather' and 'squirrel'. At the top of each box is a small circle for children to tick as they spot each item.

In the first version, I've included outline drawings of the items. This will help younger children who can't yet read and also creates a fun colouring activity. They could, for example, colour in the items as they spot them or do so beforehand or at the end of the hunt!

In the second version, I've left the boxes blank. Older children may prefer to draw the items themselves as they spot them.

You could also make a pair of toilet roll binoculars (Activity #2) beforehand to help you spot everything!

It's a good idea to attach the scavenger hunt to a clipboard or if you don't have one, stick it to some cardboard. This makes it easy to hold and draw on.

Set a Time Limit

Think about timing the scavenger hunt to make it more exciting, allowing children enough time to spot everything but not go on too long so they lose interest.

And finally, why not pair the scavenger hunt with a picnic too and make a day of it?
