Family vacations and travel plans are so fun! While traveling in a plane or a car can be daunting and tiresome, that doesn’t mean that arriving at the hotel has to be a time to sleep. Use that travel energy and explore the room and layout of the hotel! This would be super fun for a family vacation, staycation, or even a birthday party with a hotel stay!

Some other fun ideas to use for this hotel scavenger hunt printable could be:

Hotel Scavenger Hunt Clues and Ideas

Everyone will have a blast with these fun clues. These scavenger hunt clues were created so that all ages can join in the fun! Even if someone isn’t old enough to read, they can still see the pictures and be on the lookout for those items. There are two pages of clues that range from items to find in a hotel, to shapes and colors to be on the lookout for.

See a sneak peek below of the printable scavenger hunt PDF so that you know exactly what it looks like!

printable hotel scavenger hunt checklist for a vacation

Hotel scavenger hunt items include:

  • coffee pot
  • do not disturb sign
  • luggage cart
  • workout center
  • brochure
  • front desk
  • swimming pool
  • fire extinguisher

These are just a few of the items that the kids (and adults) can try to spot in the hotel! And who knows, you may end up finding even more fun items that you have to add to your own scavenger hunt list!

Make it Your Own!

Each user can make this scavenger hunt personal. Since we are all visiting different scavenger hunt locations and have various scavenger hunt participants, try some of these fun ideas to make the treasure hunt your own.

Hotel scavenger hunt ideas include…

Have a Fun Prize

Grab a few party favors or rewards for a special treat at the end of the hunt. A small prize can also act as a souvenir. Visiting Disney? Then grab a few princess party favors or mickey gifts off the internet before you travel. Hnad these items out to reward success at the end of the treasure hunt.

Count As You Go

Use the provided checklist for a hotel but allow the checklist items to add up. For example, did your team find multiple fire extinguishers? If they found 5, make that five points toward the scavenger hunt checklist total. The most points at the end of a set amount of time, wins.

Hotel Photo Scavenger Hunt

Create a virtual scavenger hunt and split up but make sure each team has a smartphone. Instead of giving each player a hotel scavenger hunt list of items, allow them to use their smartphone for a hotel photo scavenger hunt

Play like this… “The first item is a pillow.” Each team has to race and take a picture of a pillow in a group text. This can be a pillow on the couch in the lobby or a pillow in the hotel room. In the same format, have the mediator text “the next item is a local map.” Each team will race to take a picture of a local map and text it to the group. The team that returns the first image to the group, wins that round. Continue on with fun items like

    • room number
    • fitness room
    • red chair
    • funny picture in the hallway
    • vending machine item
    • etc.

Use the scavenger hunt checklist of items to guide the moderator in this phone scavenger hunt game.

This game is so much fun for an older group of teens or young adults. Heck, even grannie and gramps will have a good time with this fast-paced fun game.

What are the rules for this resort treasure hunt?

Since a hotel treasure hunt is a public scavenger hunt, it’s essential to go over a few rules. Manors and teaming up are two of the most important scavenger hunt rules.

The indoor scavenger hunt rules are a combination of the hotel rules and your family rules. Make sure that the kids know that they shouldn’t be wandering around the hotel alone and to always be with an adult from their own family while looking for things. It’s important to also team up young kids and older kids.

Also, abide by the rules of the hotel that there is no running or disturbing the other guests! Have them take a pencil so that they can mark off the items as they find them!

Who is this Hotel Photo Scavenger Hunt for?

Kids: This printable PDF is really for all ages. Make sure that the littles pair up with the big kids or adults – and have a blast. It’s a great way to burn off extra energy before a slower-paced activity.

Teens: Even the tweens will join in on the fun! Just be sure to remind them of that no-running rule – as teens can get pretty competitive!

Adults: Absolutely! Adults love good friendly competition and the ability to gloat the rest of the trip. It’s always fun to pair an adult up with one of the kids!

Do you remember the best family game night you ever had? While family game night is a fun family tradition, sometimes the nights don’t stand out. We can turn that around with a super-fun do you know your family trivia game.

Do You Know Your Family Game

So what is this family trivia game? Do you know your family is a family-friendly game filled with questions and challenges.  The family-friendly trivia questions require players to ask a question about themselves and their family to answer the questions. For added fun, there are challenge chards or action cards. The fun game cards are quick and easy so toddlers and grandparents are welcome to join in on the fun.

Let’s take a look at game trivia questions and family challenges that are a great fit for the entire family.

do you know your family game printable worksheets and trivia game cards activities

How Well Do You Know Your Family Questions

If you are familiar with family conversation starter questions, then you will understand how these family game cards work. Typically conversation cards for families require someone to answer in a way that is telling about oneself. However, for a fun twist, in this know your family? game, the fun questions are not introspective. Instead, they require a player to ask interesting questions and the rest of the family answers the questions in observance of the person asking the question.

Let’s look at a few family trivia card questions…

  • Question: Who is my favorite teacher?
  • Question: Which song do I know the most words to?
  • Question: If I could have a superpower, what would it be?

If a family member gets the right answer, they get to keep the card.

Mini Family Challenges

To step up the excitement, there are competitive challenges in this fun card game for families. This allows, in addition to questions, a little bit of friendly competition and action via fun challenges to do at home.

These fun challenges include supplies found in the home but if there is something you do not have, it can easily be replaced with something else so there is no need to buy more than the game itself.

Examples of family-friendly challenge cards include…

  • Action: Start at a table with chairs. At go, all players must get up and run around the house. The first player back to their chair wins the card.
  • Action: All players fold paper airplanes. The paper plane that flies the furthest gets to keep the card.
  • Action: See which player can stack the most coins in 30 seconds using only one hand. The winner takes the card.

In each of these frantic family fun competitions, the winner is the first person to finish and takes the card.

Do You Know Your Family Game Instructions

Now that you are ready to play, it’s important to know the instructions. The how well do you know your fam game instructions are rather simple. The game objective is to collect the most cards by the time the game is through.

To begin, download and print the do you really know me questions and actions. There is an editable page you can use to personalize your own questions and challenges. Once printed, you may choose to laminate your family game card set. This will help you reuse the set over and over. (However, if you don’t, save it to your computer to print as often as you would like.)

Cut your set of cards up to create a deck of cards. You may divide your conversation starter cards and action cards by card type or keep them as one complete set.

Start with the youngest player. Allow them to draw a card from the deck and ask a question or offer a family challenge. In challenges, the first to complete the challenge correctly gets the card. In game questions, the first to answer correctly gets to keep the card.

Make sure everyone has equal playing time.  Go around the circle until you exhaust the deck or reach a time limit. At the end of the game, count your cards.

The player that has the most cards wins the game and REALLY KNOWS THEIR FAMILY!

You can twist up this game in various ways. Ideas for playing include…

  • Play kids vs parents – which set of family members will get the glory of the win?
  • Play vs the clock – create rapid-fire questions with each answer or challenge having a time limit.
  • Play in pairs – pair up players especially if younger players might need older kids or adults to help them.
  • Play in teams – this can be boys verse girls, age groups, generations, and more

Do You Know Your Family Printable

So why are the family challenge games your solution? Well if you’re tired of the same one-word answers from your child like “yes,” “no,” or “fine,” then these conversation cards might be your answer.

The printable family trivia game combines conversation starters and fun action challenges to create a memorable family game night. Tun family conversation starters into a game and use it as an opportunity to spark conversations with your child mixed with really silly challenges.

It’s the perfect game for the whole family and promises you’ll have a blast and laugh. It’s the easiest game to get to know your family. These cost you less than a Starbucks drink but they are priceless on the spectrum of amazing family memories created!

do you know your Family printable game cards trivia game

If you want to create a small intimate wedding, take a look at these Unique & Simple Wedding Ideas on a Budget. When planning a cheap wedding, the biggest advice I can give is to purchase something you can use later. Skip the wedding planner and do it yourself.

How can I make my at home wedding special?

Pull off an at home wedding on a budget with these fun ideas…

Use Items You Have.

The best use of low-budget DIY Backyard wedding decorations is uing what’s around. Walk through your house and take a look at items you have like candles, faux plants, picture frames, etc. Also, ask family and friends if they have items. If you don’t have it and you can use it in your home later, consider a small purchase.

Use Lighting.

The lighting can set the ambiance. Have the actually ceremony during sunset (or if you dare, sunrise.) Set up the backyard with lighting that illuminates signs, trees, bushes, and other things. A small investment in landscape lighting can be an investment in backyard landscaping you can keep for a long time.

Collect Vintage.

What about having an eclectic collection of vintage silverware and plates? Nothing has to match that is what gives it the personal touch. Visit thrift stores, Goodwill, or shop Facebook marketplace for fun plates, dishes, and cutlery.  This might be a great opportunity to collect from your mother your grandmother’s priceless china!

the best Epic TEEN party games teenagers will love

Have you ever thrown a party for teens? If not, you’re missing out on some serious fun! If you have, then you know that low-cost entertainment for teen parties can be hard to come by. That is why we put together these budget-friendly teen party games for your teenager’s birthday party.

Teens are the best age group for birthday party games.  They understand the rules, they are really competitive and they offer a good alternative to getting in trouble. The games have to be challenging enough to keep the teens engaged, but not so difficult that they get frustrated and give up. The key is to find games that are just the right mix of silly and challenging. That’s where we can help.

Let’s talk about teen party ideas including ideas for venues, party foods and of course, teen party games!

Planning Teen a Teen Party

If you’re planning a party for teens, the first step is to come up with a theme. Teens love a good theme and themed parties don’t mean you have to get dressed up and decked out. It can be anything from a glow-in-the-dark party, or pool party to a scavenger hunt.

Once your teen party theme idea is established, you want to get to planning. Here are a few basic steps for planning the actual party:

Choose a date and time

Teens tend to be busy, so it’s important to pick a date and time that works for everyone. The best times for teen birthday parties are in the afternoon or evening. Calculate the hours. How long can you busy a teen before they just go berserk?

You can see some of our favorite teen party digital invites (in our photo scavenger hunt blog post.)

Pick a location

The location of the party will depend on the theme. The games can take place inside out outside, just make sure you have enough room for movement.

Examples of teenage birthday party locations include…

  • Skating Ring
  • Movie Theater
  • Backyard
  • Public Park
  • Escape Room
  • Trampoline Park
  • Basketball Court
  • Go-Cart Track
  • Golf Course
  • Warehouse

You can save money on the party by hosting the at your house, in your backyard or at a local park. If it’s a public park, see if the county requires you to rent a pavilion for special occasions.

Decide on food and drinks

You simply cannot have a teen party without proper food and drinks. Ask the teenagers what their favorite snack foods are beforehand! However, if you are on the search for cheap food for a teenage party, buying pizza, drinks, and lots of candy and chips is likely enough. You might have fun adding in some cute birthday party foods that might involve a little more effort. Decide on party food that fits them or set up some food stations like something you might have at a backyard movie night.

Example easy party food for teenagers include…

  • Pizza
  • Chips
  • Candy
  • Soda
  • Brownies
  • Tacos
  • Hotdogs
  • Chicken Wings
  • Cookies
  • Fruit
  • Popcorn

Let’s talk about some great teen party games to keep your guests entertained:

Who can you play?

Who can play these party games? Well everyone can. All you need is a winning group of teens.  These games are the best fit for children 11 to 18. That means you can use these for preteens and teens – try with your 13-year-old, 14-year-old, 15-year-old, 17-year-old, 18-year-old etc. You get the idea. They are perfect for boys, girls, or a mix of both. Once you hit that drinking age of 21, check out these adult drinking party games instead!

Where can you play?

These games can be played indoors or outdoors. At a birthday party venue or at home for a summer party gathering. Use for a slumber party, a teen birthday party, a slumber party, or even at a church youth group. Some of these games will require a larger area or space to create a mess.
