Since the world has been turned upside-down with Covid-19, I know many of us have been spending much more time at home (or close to home) as a family unit. One activity that helped to keep our family sane during quarantine was a daily walk around the neighbourhood. Sometimes we would walk in the morning, other after dark (which our youngest child especially enjoyed!)

One way to add a little extra fun to a family walk is to turn it into a scavenger hunt, and the three printable hunts linked below all offer a different seek and find challenge to your next walk!

Let's Take a Walk! Scavenger Hunt: This printable scavenger hunt is fun to take along on a walk exploring the streets around your home.

Alphabet Scavenger Hunt: Set your family the challenge to hunt for objects representing all 26 letters of the alphabet. This one can be played indoors or outdoors.

Five Senses Nature Hunt: Use all five of your senses to explore your choice of outdoor environment.

The following two ideas aren't printable but are great hands-on hunts that work well with younger family members outdoors;

Rainbow Outdoor Scavenger Hunt: A simple scavenger hunt for preschool and kindergarten age children. Great to do in the garden.

Paper Bag Treasure Book Scavenger Hunt: This treasure book is perfect for exploring with toddlers & preschoolers (though bigger kids can totally enjoy this too!)

Happy hunting!
