As moms, we know how important it is to have a few tricks up our sleeves…especially on days when we have bored kids who can’t go outside.

Well, look no further than a simple scavenger hunt!

With four little kids running around my house, I love finding activities that are easy, free, and require no prep. Which is one of the reasons I love scavenger hunts.

They’re easy, fun, and always seem to be a hit.

HOW THE INDOOR SCAVENGER HUNT WORKS

This scavenger hunt is simply a checklist. Kids can check off the items as they find them.

Kids can also make it a race. They can break into teams, each with their own copy, and see who can get done first.

ALTERNATIVE IDEAS

Want to mix it up a little? Here are a few more ways to use this printable:

Turn it into a photo scavenger hunt. Kids can take pictures or videos of each item they find (with your help if needed).

Turn it into a treasure hunt. Grab a bag and go hunting! Each time an item is found, put it in the bag. At the end, kids will have fun going through their treasures.

Make it a sketching scavenger hunt. This idea is similar to the photo hunt, except kids draw each item they find. All they’ll need is a small notebook and a pencil.

Take it outside. If the weather gets better, send the kids outside! Each item on this list can also be found outside.
