Because these printable scavenger hunts are designed to use with all ages, you can plan a fun night out that the whole family will enjoy. Make memories with this new Christmas tradition!
Christmas Scavenger Hunt
One of our favorite Christmas traditions is to go look at Christmas lights. We pop some popcorn and make hot chocolate. We put on our new Christmas pajamas and head out to look at lights.
A few years ago, I wanted to mix things up a little bit. So, I created this set of Christmas scavenger hunt pages to take with us.
We drove around town looking for each of the items on the page. There were even a few times we hopped out of the car and took pics with the decorations and/or blow-up objects in the yards. (We stood on the street in front of the house instead of going into the yards.)
How to Use These Pages
I suggest printing these pages on cardstock and laminating them for durability. You can then pack them away to use year after year.
I purposely created several versions of the scavenger hunts. Let’s look at each one in detail so you can decide which one is best for you and your crew…
First, the most challenging scavenger hunt is perfect for families and older kids/teens. There are 20 items to find or activities to complete. The challenge is to take a selfie with specific objects (a snowman, a Grinch blow-up, Santa) or completing an activity (drinking hot chocolate, decorating the tree).
This is a fun way to create a holiday memory book you can add to year after year.
Next, there is a pair of Christmas lights scavenger hunt pages. The first page has twenty items to look for when you’re out looking at lights. This page is good for kids who can read.
The second page has ten items listed in words and pictures. This ones is perfect for prereaders.
Kids can mark off the items as you see them driving around town or even walking through the mall.
No matter the ages and stages of everyone in the family, there is something in this pack for everyone!
