BENEFITS OF THANKSGIVING SCAVENGER HUNT

Scavenger hunts are a great way to engage kids of all ages in a variety of activities.

As a parent, I have seen the benefits of scavenger hunts firsthand. Not only do they promote physical activity, but they also encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

One of the biggest benefits of scavenger hunts for kids is that they get children moving. 

This fun Thanksgiving activity will provide an opportunity for children to get up and go searching for Thanksgiving-themed objects around the house and at the Thanksgiving dinner table to find the items on the list. 

Encourage children to take pictures of the items to prove they actually found each item. 

Play this game in small groups or get the entire family involved at home over Thanksgiving break. Pack it up and save it again for the following year. Turn it into one your you family traditions each year!

HOW TO PLAY THIS THANKSGIVING SCAVENGER HUNT PRINTABLE

This is the perfect game to play in your classroom party or as a whole family over Thanksgiving break! Here’s how to play:

​Print out as many scavenger hunt sheets as needed. Play individually, or group younger children in to small groups for collaborative team work.

If you are at home, you can hide Thanksgiving items around your house for your children to find.

For classroom use, you could write these words on sticky notes and hide them around the room. This will provide your children with literacy practices too as they use their cognitive skills to identify the different words.

For extra fun, provide a time limit for your children or students to find the items. 

Once the time is up, have your students go through and repeat which items they found and which items they didn’t find. 

If playing this fun game in Spanish, try to keep the conversation in Spanish for verbal practice. 

Hand out small prizes to the winners!
