printable indoor scavenger hunt riddles for kids

Rainy days or summer heat slowing you down? Not anymore! Entertain the kids at home with a printable indoor scavenger hunt with clues. The kids will love it and you’ll have a great time helping guide them as they read each clue to solve the rhyming riddle.

Indoor Scavenger Hunt

Kids love scavenger hunts but not all scavenger hunts can be done without leaving the home. This one’s great indoors. It’s fast-paced, fun and only a little bit challenging. Kids get to discover a lot about their homes and utilize some teamwork as they race to solve clues and discover fun prizes.

Indoor treasure hunt for kids with rhyming riddles clue cards printable

How to Set Up a Kids Scavenger Hunt for Indoors

Scavenger hunts do not have to be challenging. If you have a printer, you can have your own treasure hunt with just the click of a print button. To get started, you’ll need to download you files and print them out on your color printer. To make the cards more sturdy, consider using cardstock if you have it on hand.

The next step is to prep for the scavenger hunt by cutting the clue cards apart, and deciding which cards you’ll use. You can just use the ones that work best for your home, use less to make the hunt easier for younger kids, or use all 20 to extend the fun. The printable set includes blank cards so you can custom the scavenger hunt for your family or occasion too!

Set out the clues in the order you want the kids to find them and keep the first clue to hand to the players when you explain the game. You’ll have the scavenger hunt list answer key, in case anyone gets stuck on a house clue.

Once you have everything ready, it’s time to start the fun!

How do you start a scavenger hunt?

Before you begin a scavenger hunt with clue cards, you need to hide each clue card. Do yourself a favor and write the number on the back of the card. You can also use the answer key we provided and keep the same order we already have. Once the cards are in order, hide them in the correct spots.  If a clue card reads

“A clock can tell time, a pencil can write. What utensil do you use, to take a really big bite?.”

That means the next clue card should be hidden in the utensil drawer.

Practice the scavenger hunt so you can make sure you did not make mistakes when setting it up.

To start a scavenger hunt at home, keep your first clue card. You can read it aloud to your children or hand it over to your the players to read themselves. At this point, the players are on their own as they begin the challenge. You can be there for support if they are stumped on one of the fun riddles.

What are some good scavenger hunt clues?

Good scavenger hunt clues are just a tad bit challenging. That means to you they may seem like easy clues (or very obvious), but you want your child to scream out the answer as if they were so excited to quickly get the clue puzzles correct.

Example clues for an indoor scavenger hunt include…

indoor treasure hunt riddle idea

You fill me up, then drain me when done. Adding lots of bubbles, always makes me more fun.

fun indoor scavenger hunt clues

I have a round knob and also a lock. Visitors and salesman may give me a knock.

at home scavenger hunt clue card

At this point, you might be tempted to stop. Keep going and look in the place at night you will plop.

All of these riddles are found inside our indoor scavenger hunt set.

What are some good scavenger hunt prizes?

While prizes are required, it certainly is fun to have a reward of some sort at the end of the scavenger hunt.  It can be as simple as screen time tickets or a fun snack you make together.

Some kids scavenger hunt treasures include…

  • Candy
  • Snacks
  • Screen Time
  • Money
  • Treasure Chest with Chocolate Gold Coins
  • Small Toys
  • Incentive Coupons
  • Gift Cards

You can hide a prize with each card or keep the big prize for the end of the treasure hunt with the last clue card.

What are some scavenger hunt variations?

If you are looking for some scavenger hunt ideas, try variations on how to play. One way to play is to have the kids work together in teams. This can be a lot of fun, especially if you make a rule that the first team to find all the clues, or the team with the most points at the end, wins a prize.

If you have younger children playing, you might want to consider having an adult or older kid help each team. This way everyone can join in on the fun, and no one feels left out.

Another variation is to have a time limit. This adds a bit of extra pressure and really gets the kids excited as they try to beat the clock.

If you want to play again, or use the same scavenger hunt clues for a different occasion, you can always mix up the order of the clues. This way, even if the kids remember where some of the clues were hidden, they’ll still have to search high and low to find them all as they have no idea what clue will be next.

Which every scavenger hunt idea you choose, have fun and make your day a great one!

So there’s no need to worry about having to run out and get supplies, you have everything you need to make a stay inside day into a super exciting day!

“DECORATING OFF”

Grab some already baked cookies and see who can decorate them the best. Set a timer for 5 minutes and at the end, the coolest cookie wins!

Supplies: Baked cookies, cookie decorating supplies.

TRUTH OR DARE BALLOON BURST

Think of this as a combination of truth or dare and musical chairs. Fill balloons with truth or dare questions and then fill them up with air. As the music is playing, pass the balloon around to each person. Once the music stops, the person holding the balloon has to pop the balloon and complete the dare inside or answer the question of truth.

Supplies: Balloons, paper, pencil, music. (See our 100 Truth or Dare Questions for Kids)

MURDER IN THE DARK CARDS

All you need is a deck of cards. Leave only the numbered cards in the pile, plus 1 ace and 1 face card. That’s it. Have everyone draw a card. The one who gets the ace card is the detective and the one who gets the face card is the murderer. The detective reveals themselves but no one else does.

As no one is looking, the murderer has to wink at their latest victim in which that person quietly goes “out” and puts down their card. It’s up to the detective only to figure out who is needing to be charged with the crime.

Supplies: A deck of cards.

SPIN THE BOTTLE OF NAIL POLISH

This is all about crazy nail colors! Put a nail polish bottle in the middle of the circle and spin. Whoever it lands on has to paint their nails that color. Keep going until crazy nails are everywhere.

Supplies: Random colors of fingernail polish.

CHARADES

This is the typical game of charades. You can even play in the dark to add a super fun twist to it.

Supplies: Charades cards templates or pieces of paper.

MUSICAL SLEEPING BAGS

Make certain that you have one less sleeping bag than people playing. Start the music and have everyone walking around the sleeping bags. Once the music stops, they get to hop in the bags and pretend to sleep. Anyone without a bag is out.

Supplies: Sleeping bags, music.

BOBBING 4 DONUTS

Grab some string and hang up those donuts. The first person that can finish the donut off the string without using their hands, wins!

Supplies: String, donuts.

SARDINES

It’s like a reverse game of hide and seek. This game starts with one person hiding and then everyone else looking for them. As they are found, the finder joins in each time until there is a huge group of people hiding and one final person trying to find them all.

KEEP TALKING

Just how much can you talk? Put a whole bunch of random topics on pieces of paper and put them in the bowl. The kids will draw out one piece and talk about that topic for 2 minutes non-stop. What all will they say?!

Supplies: Big bowl, pieces of paper, pencil.

BLIND VAN GOGH

Split up into two teams and pick someone to put on the blindfold. Once they can’t see what it is, choose an object that the other person has to explain (without saying the actual name of the object) and have them draw out what they think is being described.

Supplies: Blindfold, pencil, paper.

BLIND MAKEOVER

Get ready to show off your makeup skills. Pick someone to be the makeup person, and one person to get their face decorated. Add the blindfold to the makeup artist and set a timer for 2 minutes. See how good their makeup looks once done!

Supplies: Makeup supplies.

Rainy Day Activities

Moms, the weather outside is frightful, and your kids are restless. It’s raining buckets, and that usually means we’re lazy indoors. The next thing you know, your kids are saying “I’m bored!” on repeat. Days like this can be tough for kids and parents alike. Rainy days can be a bit of a bummer, but they don’t have to be! It’s time to gather up some creative ideas for outdoor and indoor rainy day activities you can do with your little ones.

Indoor Games

A rainy day is the perfect time for an at home scavenger hunt. Take the kids on an indoor treasure hunt as they uncover prizes or small gifts.

Rainy Day Activities Outdoors

It’s not that we don’t like the rain, but sometimes it leaves us feeling trapped inside with nothing to do. The good news is that there are plenty of things to do outside on rainy days! You just have to put on your rain jackets and boots, grab an umbrella, and be okay with getting a little wet. It’s all in good fun. Here are some ideas you can take out in the rain with you.

Disclosure: If you have a thunderstorm with lightning in the forecast, these are not advised.

Go on a rain walk with the kids. If you’ve never done this before, you’ll love seeing their delighted expressions as they listen to the rain, feel it on their skin, and see how different things look when they’re covered in rain droplets. Have you ever seen a spiderweb covered in the rain? It’s fascinating! | Still Playing School

Learn three easy ways to paint with rain so you can create a one-of-a-kind work of art on your next rainy day. You’ll need paper, a tray, liquid watercolors, markers, and water-soluble crayons. Color or paint your designs, put them in the tray, and take them outside in the rain to see what happens! | Picklebums

Let kids splish and splash in puddles to their hearts’ content. Puddle play is a terrific way to enjoy the outdoors on a rainy day. Just make sure the kids are properly dressed for it. Provide dishes, buckets, shovels, pipes, and other implements to encourage exploration and creative thinking. | Megan Zeni

Speaking of puddle play, the perfect rainy day isn’t complete without a little puddle jumping. It’s a great opportunity to talk about how puddles are made, what makes them dry up, and what makes the water ripple. | Fireflies and Mud Pies

Every kid should know how to make a mud pie. Instead of fussing about the mess, encourage your kids to mix up some water and dirt to make thick mud perfect for plopping into pie plates. Decorate the pies with flowers, pretty rocks, leaves, sticks, and other items found in nature. | Rhythms of Play

What better time to monitor the weather than when it’s raining? Use the ideas here to make a simple rain catcher with a “weatherman” wooden spoon that measures how much rain it has collected. | Rainy Day Mum

Here’s another version of a rain gauge made using a jumbo test tube, craft foam, and a few other craft supplies you probably have on hand already. Empty it every day and record how much rain you get over the course of a season. It’ll be fun to see how much the rain can vary from one day, week, or season to the next. | Life Over C’s

Go outside and make some sidewalk chalk art in the rain. Kids will be surprised to see how much more vibrant the colors of the chalk are when it gets wet. | Fun-A-Day

Combine sidewalk art and puddle play with this fun color puddle splash activity. You’ll need to be okay with the possibility of stains or else make sure the colors are completely washable before diving feet first into a color-filled puddle. | Lemon Lime Adventures

Sight word puddle jumping is a fantastic way for little ones to learn their sight words. When you pair movement with study, it helps the brain form new connections to the material. If you plan to do this one in the rain, you’ll want to laminate the words first. | Fantastic Fun and Learning

Rainy Day Activities Indoors

We understand that sometimes you just can’t get outdoors to enjoy the rain even though you’d like to. With the rain coming down outside, it’s not always easy to find something fun to do indoors.

But forget TV or video games—it’s time to get creative! Lucky for you, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep everyone entertained. Here are some ideas to help you get started: You can play board games with friends and family, build things out of Lego blocks or K’Nex pieces, read books together or paint pictures. There is also no shortage of craft projects that can be done by the whole family, such as making slime or tie-dye t-shirts.

We’ve listed even more craft ideas below. Some are rain-themed, while others are not. Just grab a few friends or family members, some snacks, and get ready for some quality time spent together in the comfort of your home.

First, make sure to print our indoor games for kids. These activities can keep your kids entertained, especially with a larger crowd! One great solution is Minute to Win It Games. All of which can be played inside with larger or small crows.

Curious little scientists will love this simple rain cloud in a jar experiment. You can set it up in just minutes using a jar, water, shaving cream, and food coloring. Just as clouds get too heavy and release rain, this shaving cream cloud will release the food coloring when it’s too heavy. Use blue food coloring or make a rainbow cloud with lots of different colors. | The Best Ideas for Kids

This easy rain craft for kids is simple enough for toddlers to make, but preschoolers and kindergarteners will enjoy it, too. You’ll need some cotton balls, construction paper, glue, and paint to make a cloud pouring raindrops all over the page. You could also let your kids use their fingerprints to make the raindrops instead. | Crafts on Sea

After the rain comes rainbows, and this fizzy rainbow experiment will have your kids eager to find their own! Turn Jell-O into fizzy fun with a bit of baking soda. Then, you’ll be able to do the classic baking soda and vinegar reaction we all know and love. Plus, by using Jell-O, it’ll smell amazing! | Fun-A-Day

Preschoolers can practice counting with this rain-themed sensory bin featuring cottony clouds, blue glass beads to represent raindrops, and sparkly gold pipe cleaners to make lightning. Kids will love all the different textures here—soft, fluffy, smooth, rough, etc. | Fantastic Fun and Learning

Have an indoor scavenger hunt with items you’d typically find around the house. For example, you’ll look for something that’s red, something to eat with, something with a nose, and so on. This free printable makes the scavenger hunt super easy. Just print it, grab some pencils, and everyone’s all set to go. Add a timer to make it more challenging. | Hey, Let’s Make Stuff! (see a full list of More Scavenger Hunts for Kids too.)

Rock painting is a great activity for a rainy day. Then, once it stops raining, you can add the rocks to your garden or hide them around your community if you have a local rock group. It’s always so fun when someone finds your rock. What a cool way to brighten someone’s day! | Sixth Bloom  (see more Rock Painting Ideas for Kids too!)

Build a fort in the living room! It makes family movie night a lot more fun, and it’s also a cozy hideaway for kids to go to read their books or enjoy some quiet time. | Messy Little Monster

What better time to make something for a friend than on a rainy day? DIY friendship bracelets are easy, fun, and thoughtful. You’ll need some embroidery floss in various colors, buttons, and scissors. Have a blast designing something unique for each of your BFFs or siblings. | Crafts by Amanda

Now you have loads of rainy day activities and things to do in the rain to keep you busy anytime it starts pouring outside. Pin this list to save it for later!

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.

Staying home doesn’t have to be boring but staying organized will allows you to enjoy the lazier days and hope for the more exciting days that are planned.

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.

Are your kids a fan of the great outdoors? If so, there are plenty of great activities that you can take on to keep yourself busy and entertained during the long summer months.
