I know summer is actually only 16 weeks long but I wanted to include some extra ideas so we’d have a nice variety to choose from (and in case we ended up needing a scavenger hunt that matched an attraction we are visiting). Since I’ve been on the look-out for some cool hunts that we can do this summer, I thought I would share some of our finds - more than 20 awesomely fun ideas for fun ways to get out & have an adventure! Our goal - one scavenger hunt each week for the whole summer! In addition to just being fun, scavenger hunts are also great ways for kids to learn - your kids will hone their observation skills, practice new words, explore new places and many hunts also intregrate a little science and math too.
In fact, we’ve been known to ‘divide and conquer’ in a friendly family competition on more than one occasion. If there’s one thing we love, it’s a fun scavenger hunt for kids! Enjoy these Summer Scavenger Hunt Ideas while you’re relaxing outside in the backyard, camping, heading out for a walk/hike or exploring places around town!
