Let’s get outdoors and begin our local treasure hunt!

What is a scavenger hunt?

A scavenger hunt is a game similar to a treasure hunt. Players collect or identify specific items, usually specified on a list or given in a series of clues. Players are given a list of items to find or collect. This collection can be a collection of similar things or a series of clue cards. There are two different types of scavenger hunt hunts…

  • Scavenger Hunt Checklist
  • Scavenger Hunt Clue Cards

A scavenger hunt can be casual or can be a timed race.  It can be played individually or with a team. There are a few examples of how to declare a winner in a scavenger hunt…

  • Man vs clock: Each player races to beat another players time.
  • Man vs Man: Multiple players go at the same time. The winner finishes the race first.
  • Team vs Team: Players work together to finish their scavenger hunt before the other team finishes first.

At the end of a scavenger treasure hunt there is a prize. The first player to find or collect all the items on the list or complete the rhyming riddles wins the game.  Examples of scavenger hunt prizes can include…

  • holiday gifts
  • birthday presents
  • party favors
  • small prizes
  • a series of items that lead to a larger clue (for example letters to unscramble)
  • candy

How to Prepare for a Scavenger Hunt

Decide on the area you will be searching. This could be your neighborhood, a local park, playground or even your own backyard. In this case, you’ll be doing the scavenger hunt in your neighborhood and by foot or car depending on your area.

Put together clues in the form of a checklist or clue cards. For example, in a scavenger hunt checklist, make a list of items for the players to find or collect. The list can be as simple or complex as you like. For example, at a Safari Themed Party, players might collect different animals found in the jungle that are hiding in the party venue.

If you are created ideas for scavenger hunt clues for kids, you want to have a consecutive list of places you want the kids to go. Then you offer clues so that they find that location.

An example of a scavenger hunt clue for kids is…

Check out the pathway on the side of the street. On the concrete is a clue for you to meet.

Start the scavenger hunt. Print out the cards or checklist, and choose the area of the neighborhood you’ll be working in.

What’s in this Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt?

For this neighborhood scavenger hunt printable set, there are actually two types of neighborhood scavenger hunt ideas to choose from: A checklist and rhyming riddles clue cards.

The first neighborhood treasure hunt is more descriptive and great for older kids or teenagers that can read and solve riddles. This could be used on your street or using a car scavenger hunt for a larger area. Second, there is also a list of items for younger kids.  This would be used as a walking scavenger hunt and kids check off the list of items on their visual list.

Clue Cards

Neighborhood scavenger hunt for adults or teens or older kids

This scavenger hunt is great for older children, teens or even adults. Use rhyming riddles and go on a neighborhood walk scavenger hunt on foot or driving scavenger hunt as you locate different clues and ultimately find your prize.

To get started, cut the rhyming clue cards apart. Choose the scavenger hunt clue cards that are best for your neighborhood and plan your order. If you wish, you can add a number to the back of the card for ordering.

Since you are in a larger area, such as a neighborhood, create a boundary where clues can be found. To keep the clues in a larger area, write your own clues on the back. For example, use hints like this is at a house to the left of yours. This is at a flower bush four driveways from yours. Hide your cards in the appropriate spot but save the first card to start the hunt. You can play foot, bicycle, golf cart or car!

In our printable set, you’ll also find a page full of do not touch signs! These signs are great for when you don’t want anyone messing up your scavenger hunt and picking up a clue card before players have gotten to that riddle.

Checklist

easy neighborhood scavenger hunt for kids

The second photo scavenger hunt is ideal for preschoolers or younger children and kids. In this scavenger hunt list, participants can see the picture and from there they can look for the item in the picture. The scavenger hunt includes 16 items.

Example neighborhood checklist items include…

  • sprinkler
  • dog
  • flower
  • mailbox
  • airplane
  • stop sign

Once an items is found, you can use a circle sticker and cover the item (like these on Amazon) or just add a circle or X. This is not a checklist neighborhood hunt where you pick up the item – the neighbor might not like you carrying their dog home. LOL.

Fun Dinner Conversation Starters for Families

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

Ready for meaningful mealtime conversation? These dinner conversation starters are what you need! Download and print 65+ engaging topics and questions that are a perfect fit for connection at the dinner table. Set includes blank cards to add your own relevant questions.

Best Dinner Conversation Starters for Families

Dinnertime is a valuable time of the day to connect as a family. It’s a time to share how your day went, to catch up on news, and to enjoy each other’s company. Dinnertime conversation starters are a great resource to keep the conversation flowing and to prevent awkward silences.

Coming up with topics of conversation can be tough, especially for kids. Often small talk occurs but we don’t get to the root of who our child is. We miss this occasion and before we know it days have turned to years and we are waving good-bye in the review mirror as they drive off to college.

That’s why we’ve compiled a list of family dinner conversation starters that will help get the conversation flowing around the table. Turn regular family dinners into a favorite family activity.

Why are Family Dinner Conversation Starters Important?

printable family dinner conversation starters for the dinner table

Family dinner conversation starters are important because they help families connect with each other. They provide a way to share news, catch up on what’s going on in each other’s lives, and enjoy each other’s company.

In addition, family dinner conversation starters can help prevent awkward silences and to encourage friendly talks about important topics and lighthearted conversations that make a big impact on family bonds.

How to Use Family Dinner Conversation Starters

There are many ways to use family dinner conversation starters. They can be used as icebreakers to get the conversation started, or they can be used to keep the conversation going if it starts to lull. The important thing is to find a way to use them that works for your family.

Some families like to go around the table and have each person share one thing about their day. Others like to pick one conversation starter and discuss it as a family. And still others like to use conversation starters as a way to get to know new family members or friends.

Simply print and cut the cards. Add them to a bowl and use as you’d like for a routine dinnertime. You could also make a conversation starter jar. Fold the cards, insert in the mason jar and keep it lidded on the dinning table.

Easter basket plastic easter eggs family conversation starter cards idea

Alternatively, get creative with how you use these cards. Is it a holiday or special time of year? Incorporate the holiday into how you use the conversations. For example, during Easter put a different conversation card in plastic Easter eggs. Put all the eggs in an Easter basket in the center of the table. During the lent season, a family member can draw and an Easter Egg and you can go over different dinner questions during the spring season.

What are Some Good Family Dinner Conversation Starters?

How many times do you use the question “How was your day today?” in a year? For me, I use it daily and often forget to use my pocket full of reliable conversation starters for kids. While it’s great to know about their day, go deeper than asking such a generic question.

Some good family dinner conversation starters include:

  • Did anything interesting happen at school/work?
  • What are you looking forward to this weekend?
  • What was your favorite part of the day?
  • What are you looking forward to tomorrow?
  • What was the best thing that happened to you today?
  • Tell me about your friends.
  • Who do you admire most and why?
  • What was the best thing about your day?
  • What do you like the most about the person sitting to your left?
  • What is the funniest thing that happened to you this year?
  • If you could turn someone nice – who would it be?
  • How would your pet describe you?
  • What is your favorite family tradition and why?
  • If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do?

These including funny conversation starters but also deeper conversation starters where you really dig into your child and spouse’s heart. What are are their fears, hopes, desires, dreams?

Dinner Conversation Starters Printable

Erase the awkward silence and create a memory your kids will pass on to their kids. To help get the chatter going, we’ve designed a easy to use printable that you can print out, cut apart, and leave on the table for family dinners.

There are 69 conversation starters and once you use them all, you can go back through the cards- the answers will change over time and depending on who is answering the question. For example, “What was your last thought before going to sleep last night?”

Family Conversation Starters Printable Cards

These helpful cards help your family get deep with these discussion starters that are great for both kids and adults. In this Family Conversation Starter Cards Printable PDF Set, there are 69 convo starters and a blank page of 24 so you can add your own questions. Print the blank page as many times as you’d like to create personalized starters for your family or the time of year.

Make time for people who make time and learn more about friends and family at dinner time! Pull out some of the cards and use when hosting a dinner party, for Thanksgiving dinner or even Christmas dinner party. A good friend and party guests might enjoy reliving their earliest memory, dream job, favorite holiday, biggest regret, most desired superpower or favorite movie. They also make great conversation ice breakers for adults and kids alike. It’s the perfect time to use the blank cards to add topics and questions that are a fit for those individuals you are hosting. It’s sure to bring the laughter.

While it isn’t as expensive as traveling, summer staycations can become quickly expensive. If you are looking for some low-cost summer activities for the kids, it’s important to plan. Spending just an hour at the beginning of summer can change the entire outcome.

Our free printable summer calendar is an excellent tool for seeing what’s ahead.

If you need ideas for how to make summer fun while staying home, involve the kids. After all what are fun summer activities for kids if the kids are not the ones involved in the planner. Sit down at the end of the school year.  A family dinner is a perfect time to brainstorm. You can use this free printable summer checklist. Use the ideas listed or review them as a spring board for some of your own family bucket list ideas.

72 Fun Family Bonding Activities & Ideas

April 12, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Baby, Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Parenting, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media Leave a Comment

Family time is important for bonding and creating new memories. Take a look at this list of 72 Family Bonding Activities and Ideas. Download this fun family traditions checklist to begin the family fun today!

Fun Family Bonding Activities checklist

Family time is important for everyone in the family. Planning relationship building activities make for fun memories that you’ll cherish for years. This family bonding activities printable provides year-round ideas of fun things to do together to make great memories together.

Why Family Time?

Whether it’s the bonding time spent with siblings, parents, children or even pets; spending time with family can provide a sense of security and love that cannot be found outside of the people you love the most. In addition, memories are created when something unusual occurs. That means getting out of the same daily routine and adding a new activity to your day!

Fun family activities can overlap with Family Traditions and they can be repeated or you can do them once and never do them again. For example, every Sunday family dinner is breakfast for us. This began as a family activity and quickly grew into a family tradition.

When creating a list of seasonal family activities, consider what your family would enjoy. If you have a larger family (like my family of seven) we have activities on the list that each child/adult would like. Of course, not each activity is appreciated by everyone but we all participate.

Family Bonding Ideas

We all know we should spend more time with our families but sometimes we struggle to come up with activities that don’t end in a shouting match. Making time to build your family bond can often be pushed aside. With that being said, here are some simple family bonding activities that you can do with your family this weekend!

1. Indoor Ice Skating: This fun activity for families on a budget is great for any time of year. Lace up and have fun trying to stay upright or learning how to do new tricks. If you don’t have ice skates, try out skates or even roller blades!

2. Cook Together: Cooking with kids can sometimes be difficult because they always want to play with the food but not eat any of it. Pick a recipe that everyone will enjoy and prep together if possible. Bonus points for trying new foods.

3. DIY Crafts: When was the last time you went to your local craft store? Take advantage of great deals and create something together. Your family will love the memories you create together while coming up with new ideas for future projects.

4. Mini-Golfing: It’s never too late or too early to start playing the game everyone loves. Mini-golf is a great family bonding activity that will leave you with laughs and smiles for years to come.

5. Go For A Hike: It doesn’t matter where you go for your hike as long as it’s somewhere new, exciting and challenging. Pack some snacks, water and good hiking shoes and get out of the house. Bonus: Involve your dog and make it a family adventure!

6. Board Games: Get some old school board games like Monopoly, Pictionary, Life or even Chess and challenge each other to friendly battles of minds. As long as everyone remembers that it’s just a game, you’ll have fun while making memories with a family game night.

7. Family Movie Night: One of the cheapest ways to have fun with the family is to spend a few hours at home watching a movie. Pick a movie everyone will enjoy and get some popcorn too! If your brave, make it a backyard movie night.

8. Yard Games: Whether you call them yard games or lawn games, playing sports in your backyard can be a ton of fun for the whole family. Bring out the badminton set or play a game of football to get some fresh air and burn off some energy.

9. Go on a Scavenger Hunt: We have a huge list of scavenger hunt ideas for at home. From outdoor hunts in the neighborhood, to birthday treasure hunts, and finally seasonal hunts with fun rhyming riddle clues, these hunt are great idea for each new holiday. This might quickly become a family tradition.

10. Family Road Trip: Road trips are a great way to create conversation and get to know one another. Play car games, learn a new skill aka map reading, and discover new places.

11. Family Vacation Stay-cation: When a trip out of town in not in the books, stay in town. A staycation is a great way to get to know your city and down.

12. Forts: Take a rainy day and build indoor forts. Using pillows, blankets and your furniture, all activities for the day must be conducted in the family tent. Laughter definitely included!

13. Volunteer: What feels better, to give or to receive? Teach your child the important as well as the benefit of serving in their community, church, school or another organization.

14. Look at Family Photos: So many memories and moments are caught in photographs. In the era of digital photography, it’s not often your child holds a photo in their hands. Look through older photos and tell a story about each.

15. Use Conversation Cards: Include engaging conversation during the evening dinner. Conversation cards are a great way to engage one another and learn about one another deeply.

These ideas are just a few examples. You can add your own to the list or start with a clean late full of family fun that fits your crew.

Baby Shower Games Printables

best baby shower games

I have five kids. With my five kids, I only had two baby showers. Additionally, I have not attended a baby shower in years. Well, that isn’t true. I went to one about two years ago, and I was out out of place because it has been so long. So research had to be done to find you all the best.

In my discovery for this post, this is what I learned. The internet does not lack baby shower games. You guys, there are lots however theya re spread all over the place.

Additionally, each game has about a dozen versions and is found on about another 1,000 blogs.  So I did my good duty for you all and put together the best baby shower games that won’t throw you into an instant snooze. If I found the game multiple places, I found what I thought was the best version.
