What is a Nature Scavenger Hunt

A Nature Scavenger Hunt is a game where players search for specified items on a list, think of large rocks, interesting clouds, cute squirrels, or a red leaf.

Players are asked to check off the items as they find them.

How to Play Nature Scavenger Hunt

To play, give one Scavenger Hunt sheet to each child or give one card to each team. Go in search of the items on the card. When you find an item, tick it off. If playing alone, you are finished when you find all the items. If playing with others, the first person to tick off all the items wins.

Detailed Nature Scavenger Hunt Instructions:

1.  Print out your Nature Scavenger Hunt printable (one for each player or team). I recommend using a clipboard so that it’s easier for your child to write. (You can also download the additional Scavenger Hunt Games) There are 4 games in total.
2. Optional (but as I said above, I love this) laminate your printables so that you can use them over and over.
3. Go in search of the items on the card. (You can go the park, forest, backyard, schoolyard, on a walk, around the neighborhood)
4. Tick off each nature item as you find it. You’ll be looking for items such as:
   • Trees
   • Bees
   • Flowers
   • Rocks
   • Footprints
5. The first person to find all the items wins, or if playing alone, you have completed your Scavenger Hunt when you tick off all the items.
6. If you love Scavenger Hunt variations, this free bundle includes 3 other Scavenger Hunts for Kids. Including our color scavenger hunt, treasure hunt, watchful walk
7. Don’t forget your sunscreen and most of all HAVE FUN! Explore and take the time to really look at what you find.
8. Optional: Create fun prizes or treats for winners or Scavenger Hunt completers

Consider the age of your child when you plan your fun scavenger hunt. Toddlers are totally happy hunting for little bugs and puffy clouds, but older kids (or teenagers) love challenging Scavenger Hunt with clues. But don’t worry, our free Scavenger Hunt bundle includes something for every age!

Benefits of Nature Scavenger Hunts for Kids

There actually are loads of benefits of Scavenger Hunts for Kids.

The first is that kids can get outside and play. It’s said that kids need 3 hours of outdoor time each and every day. It seems like a lot, doesn’t it? That’s why I’m always on the lookout for outdoor fun.

Scavenger Hunts also teach teamwork (if playing in a group); they encourage problem-solving and get your littlies creative juices flowing!

Why wait? Grab your free printables and get out and have some fun, today!
