Indoor Scavenger Hunt
For the Younger Ones
This indoor scavenger hunt will take your kids all around the house. It's a great activity to do when your kids are pent up inside and you want to run some of their energy out. This hunt requires minimal preparation. Use the clues below to send your children from one location to the next. Simply put a clue at each location, some upstairs, some down to have them cruising all around. You can mix it up every time you do this so as to make it more interesting for your children. Scavenger hunt rules should be layed out ahead of time. For example: No running in the house. Hold on to the railing when going up and down the stairs. Leave the clues where you find them so your brother and sister can find them too. For the wee ones, you may want to draw a picture of the clues listed below if they can't read or check out this picture scavenger hunt. At the very end, have something fun for your kids. For example a shoebox "treasure chest" with candy, a toy, or a cookie inside.
This indoor hunt
is another fun one that takes less preparation as you simply hand the kids a list of items to go find. Check it out too!
