Spooky Season Halloween Scavenger Hunt
Last year my kids had a blast hunting for the Halloween pictures hidden in our home. I cut out the pictures and placed them all around the house. My boys ran around searching for the pictures and eventually ended up working together to find them all.
Side note: I may have forgotten where I hid 2 or 3 of the pictures!
This is such a great activity in late October especially if the weather is messy outside and you need something to keep the kids busy. Scavenger hunts are one of our favorite fun Halloween activities for the whole family to enjoy!
How to Set Up a Halloween Scavenger Hunt
This is a simple scavenger hunt that is really easy to set up!
All you need to do to get started is print and cut out the Halloween picture cards. These cards have all kinds of cute Halloween images like a black cat, spider webs, Halloween candy, and more!
Then you can hide the cards around your house either inside or outside. I used tape so that the cards wouldn’t fall or be blown away by the wind.
Side Note: I would definitely use a location cheat sheet for the Halloween pictures just in case you are like me and tend to forget things!
Now that all the Halloween pictures are hidden, it’s time to pass out the Halloween scavenger hunt sheets to record the Halloween pictures they find. Kids just put an ‘X’ or a checkmark next to the picture they find.
This scavenger hunt is not required to be in a specific order like other Halloween Rhyming Scavenger Hunts. That makes it super easy to set up!
Halloween Scavenger Hunt Prize Ideas
A friendly competition of Halloween scavenger hunting has to end with a prize, right?! You can choose little surprises for everyone who finishes the scavenger hunt. Or get a grand prize for the person who finishes first!
Most people would lean towards giving away fun Halloween candy as a prize, but I’m sure your kids are like mine and end up with way too much candy by the end of October!
Here are some fun Halloween non-candy treats that would be great prizes!
- Halloween Mochi Squish Prizes
- Halloween Punch Balloons
- Cute Halloween Wind Up Toys
- Halloween Water Bottle Stickers
- Stretchy Skeletons
