Scavenger hunts are a great interactive way to get kids thinking, running around (aka tire them out!) and simply have a fun time. And so this year, I have decided to create a fun free printable Halloween scavenger hunt for kids that you can download, print and set up in a matter of minutes.
If your children are a bit older and can read by themselves, you can just hand them their first clue and set them loose in the house! If the kids are younger like mine, you will want to walk around with them and read them the clues.
At the end of the scavenger hunt you can put together a fun little Halloween gift basket or some special candy for them to find. I know I am very excited to set up this scavenger hunt in my own home on Halloween day!
Once you have printed and trimmed the clue cards, you can begin placing them around your home. I think the majority of the clues are pretty self explanatory in terms of which locations the clues should go in, but I’ve also included an answer key below just in case.
With the exception of the first and eighth clue, all the others can go in whichever order you choose.
At the end of the scavenger hunt, you can hide some candy or Halloween treats in the final location. Your kids will have a blast running around the house searching for all the fun clues!
