Scavenger hunt for kids

This Scavenger hunt for kids should definitely be on your Fall activity list.

A scavenger hunt for kids is an activity that should definitely be on your Fall activity list.  It requires nothing on our part as parents to participate except good walking shoes and maybe a jacket.  Also, there's no huge preparation needed for the kids either because everyone is simply taking a walk around the neighbourhood.

The changes in nature is one of the many reasons I love Fall.  Nature is fascinating when the seasons are changing because we get a chance to observe such beautiful transformations.  During Fall we see the colour change in the trees, falling leaves and the changing patterns of animals and I wanted to share this with my children.

I decided a printable scavenger hunt would be a neat way to take the kids for a walk around the neighbourhood to observe Nature in action.  My kids are 10 and 2 years old so their attention spans are on different ends of the spectrum.  I know the best way to get their attention and keep them attentive is through playing a game, so the scavenger hunt printable was perfect.

It is a neat way to have fun with my kids while they are learning. It is also a great way to sharpen their observation skills.  I think interactive learning is one of the biggest secret weapons us parents have in our pockets so when the opportunity presents itself, I use it!

Furthermore, any time spent outside the house and away from the electronics is a double win for me because there are times I rely on their electronics to keep them busy.

During the walk, the kids simply marked an X through the images as we found or observed them in nature.  It's that easy!  If your kids are anything like my kids, the questions are endless which makes the scavenger hunt that more interesting.
