Looking for a fun weekend activity? The Glitter Girls have prepared a fall scavenger hunt, just for you! This classic kids’ game has all the ingredients for a fun afternoon under the sun. All you need to do is print it out and share it with your kiddo! Then, head to the backyard or stroll around the neighborhood to find everything on the list. With gorgeous fall weather in full swing, it’s time to head outside for giggles and gourds!
Why are scavenger hunts a great fall activity?
Scavenger hunts are excellent things to do with kids because they combine physical activity with independent exploration, problem-solving, and fresh air, all while encouraging a sense of wonder and appreciation for the things around them. Thanks to the simple goals of the game, kids get to learn more about their environments in a tactile, real-life setting. Scavenger hunts can also be great tools for teaching younger kiddos new words and concepts!
See that colorful mushroom over there, next to the creek? That’s a fungus. Don’t eat it!
An added bonus to a fall scavenger hunt, like this one, is that it can teach kids about the season, such as the leaves changing colors, the weather getting cooler, and all the fun fall holidays that kids can look forward to. In case you missed it, we also have a summer scavenger hunt, perfect for summer days at home.
So, think you can find everything? Whether you do or you don’t, the key is to enjoy the outdoors. Share this list with your little one before you head out on your next adventure! Then, check off all the items you find as you go. Keep an eye out for cozy fall clothes, cute decorations, and colorful leaves – there’s so much to discover, it’s un-be-leafable!
