Outdoor Scavenger Hunt for Kids

Scavenger hunts are a fun and free activity for kids.

Plus they are super easy, requiring next to no prep.

All the children need is this free printable and a crayon, marker, or pencil to check off the items that they find. A clipboard to lean on while marking off the worksheet is helpful, but not absolutely necessary.

This outdoor scavenger hunt is a great way to get the kids outside and exploring nature.

The items listed should be easy to find in the backyard or in a short walk around the neighborhood.

2 Versions Available

I created an easy version for preschoolers and kindergarteners that includes both pictures and text listing 8 common items to find.

• tree
• cloud
• fence
• leaf
• bird
• flower
• grass
• twig

I also made a text-only version for older elementary children that need more of a challenge. The difficult version has 14 items for the kids to find.

• tree
• word
• fence
• butterfly
• bird
• nest
• leaf
• rock
• cloud
• dirt
• grass
• ant
• flower
