The back to school season can bring a mixture of emotions. The beginning of the year includes a new environment, new friends, and a new teacher. In order to break up anxieties and the stresses of unknown settings, we’ve put together a great activity that can be used across all grades. A classroom scavenger hunt has many benefits but mostly those of creating an ice breaker for meeting new peers and a new environment. Play with your students or get with another teacher and pair older kids wiht younger kids as they learn about the places in their school.

We created a simple scavenger hunt that you will love. More importantly, a cute hunt that they will love. In this blog post, learn the different ways you can create a school scavenger hunt, the benefits of a school scavenger hunt, and fun ideas to personalize both types of scavenger hunts for younger and older kids.

Let the fun begin!

How do you do a scavenger hunt in school?

If you are ready to create a fun activity at school for the students, a scavenger hunt is a great start. A scavenger hunt creates guided exploration for students to explore the environment. It can be done independently in a quiet setting with each student completing the task on their own. This can also be turned into a group activity where a group of students need to work together in a team to accomplish the task.

It’s very easy to set up a scavenger hunt at school. Create a list of things you want the kids to find and add these items to a scavenger hunt checklist. We’ve done the hard work for you and created a scavenger hunt set you can use. Either print both or one.

To set up the scavenger hunt:

Download the classroom scavenger hunt.
Print enough classroom scavenger hunts for each student or each team.
Go over the rules. This hunt does require you to go in common and public spaces. Make sure kids know to keep low or quiet voices.
If doing this with a new student, create a buddy system and allow fellow classmates to lead them around the school and show them their new environment.

Optional: Print these on cardstock for durability. You can even laminate the scavenger hunts to use year after year. Kids can use dry-erase markers when they find the item and complete the task.

When should you use a classroom scavenger hunt?

Knowing the benefits of a school scavenger hunt will help you establish the reason to use this fun resource. A school scavenger hunt is great for teamwork, problem-solving, getting to know a new environment, and getting to know peers.

Reasons for a classroom scavenger hunt include…

Ice breakers and connecting new peers
First day of school ideas for activities
Learning about the spaces in a new school and new classroom
Teamwork and group games for tablemates, new friends, teachers, and students
Builds problem-solving skills
Welcoming a new student to a new school
Body & mind exercises for the first week of school
Photo scavenger hunt for a photography class or art classroom
Spread across multiple grades and use as an activity for older buddies with younger buddies

The school game benefits are making a new place familiar, connecting with others, and providing a fun activity for the school day.

Now that you know the benefits, discover the items you will find on your school scavenger hunt list.

Classroom Scavenger Hunt Ideas

On the printable classroom scavenger hunt for school, we have put together a list of ideas. Some of these ideas are concrete and will be tangible items that are the same for all students. Some of these ideas are abstract and can be different ideas for each student.

Take a look at these good items for a school scavenger hunt:

American flag
Teacher desk
Cafeteria
Music room
Something red
An object in the shape of a circle
Something you can smell
Students’ desk
Bathroom
Gym

… and more picture clues!

Classroom Scavenger Hunt Printable

There are many reasons you can enjoy a classroom scavenger hunt. This is a great scavenger hunt for kindergartens or younger kids. One at-school classroom scavenger hunt shows students around the new school. The other is a fun school treasure hunt that observes senses, numbers, shapes, and colors.

We get it. Color ink is hard to come by in a school setting. This interactive school scavenger hunt also comes in a B&W version. In addition to a color worksheet and black & white printable, the scavenger hunt comes in two sizes so you can print two on your 8.5 x 11-inch page. We want to make this school scavenger hunt worksheet cost-efficient and easy for you.

Gift the kids an activity that is so much fun. Get to know a new school or elementary school setting with a Back to School Scavenger Hunt checklist.

Can this scavenger hunt be done in a preschool classroom?

Yes, this school scavenger hunt can be done in many places. The age of the kids includes kindergarten, elementary school, and preschool. This is a perfect classroom scavenger hunt preschool worksheet because it includes exploring a new environment and the five senses. Since many preschoolers do not visit an art room, you can talk about the art area in general. Since some preschool environments don’t have a “principal’s office” you can talk about the director of the school and introduce a new vocabulary word – principal. Lastly, teach children about colors and the five senses as you work to discover objects with different colors, shapes, and textures. Just adapt the environment for the school scavenger hunt list as needed. Use rooms or facilities you might not have as examples for discussions.

To further this lesson with preschoolers, as the teacher you could also go on a virtual scavenger hunt of their “big school” right before they approach graduating from preschool. Instead of using this hunt at the beginning of the school year, you are going to save it for the end of the year when your students are starting a new “big kid” school, aka kindergarten. For younger kids, create a slide show of their new school with the images in the school scavenger hunt checklist. With a little creativity, you can visit almost any place on a virtual field trip. If your students are going to different schools – let’s say three, then have an image of three different gyms. What a great way to reduce those first-day-of-school anxieties. I bet the parents will love you (I mean they likely already do!)

Is this scavenger hunt a competition?

That is really up to you. The school classroom scavenger hunt can be done individually or in teams. With either, you can race against the clock or race against other teams/individuals. Keep in mind, competition tends to create louder voices. If doing this as a friendly competition, have rules for voice levels and running. You know your students. If you don’t and you want to control the environment and behavior, it’s best to avoid competition. Instead, have a small reward for completion with an end time at the end of the day. Completion can be done on your own timeline and everyone wins.

Fun prizes for a school scavenger hunt can include:

Pencils
Erasers
School supplies
Fidget toys
Mini pencil sharpeners
Colored paper clips
Homework pass
Extra recess

… and of course, intrinsic satisfaction is likely the most rewarding!

More School Printables

Go fishing

Going fishing includes finding a water spot like a creek, river, bay, or ocean. Make a day of grabbing a pole and visiting the water. You might even be able to eat what you catch!

Have a picnic al fresco

Have a picnic in the early morning or early evening when it isn’t too hot. Watch the sunrise or sunset and enjoy breakfast, drinks, and a yummy treat. You can even visit a hot/cold food bar at your local grocery store and grab various yummy bites to everyone’s liking.

Go on a scavenger hunt

Scavenger hunts are amazing treasure hunts for kids and adults. They include a variety of ideas like outdoor scavenger hunts or indoor scavenger hunts. Also enjoy themed scavenger hunts like summer scavenger hunts, birthday scavenger hunts, or mall scavenger hunts.

Stargaze in your own backyard

The backyard is a great place to create memories of stargazing. Plus at the end of the night, you can open your patio door and sleep in your own bed or night camp in the backyard! Enjoy looking at the nighttime sky and staying up way past your bedtime.

Make and fly a kite

Create a kite challenge. Upscycle things from the recycling bin and craft closet and see if you can come up what a kite that flies. Hit a field or the beach and have a kite challenge to see who can keep their kite up the longest.

Experiment with grilling

Summer is a great time for outdoor grilling recipes. Try different ingredients you might not have in the middle of winter like pineapple, corn, and more! Kids can have fun making their own skewer recipes personalized to their favorite tastes.

Make a fort

We are not talking about tossing a blanket over a chair. Get creative and make an epic blanket fort using blankets, sheets, and chairs. Add Christmas lights and a sleeping bag and camp out in your DIY tent in the living room.

Make an outdoor obstacle course

Summer games are so fun. Obscales courses evoke creative juices to come up with fun challenges. You can add this obstacle course to your list of backyard games for groups.

Raid your craft supplies and get creative. Watch a fun paper bag puppets YouTube video and see if you can come up with creative paper bag puppet ideas.

Put on a fashion show

Play flashlight tag

This is such a fun activity – when the sun goes down, head outside and play flashlight tag. This outdoor nighttime game is super fun with the immediate family or as a large outdoor group game.

Try new pool games

The pool is one of the best places to cool over during summer. Invite some friends over and quit the routine Marco Polo game. Instead all some fun pool party games for adults, teens, and kids (that are good swimmers.) They are silly and fresh and the kids will love them.

Have a sleepover

Sleepovers are great for pillow fights, late-night movies, and sleeping in (because there isn’t anything on the schedule to wake you!) Play truth or dare or sleepover games for the girls. It will be a great night!

Host a potluck

It takes a little work but is worth it if you can spread out the tasks. Host a potluck at your home. When everyone split the effort, these become cheap summer meals for a crowd catering to a bunch of different taste buds. Have left over containers so everyone can take a bit of extra home for lunch the next day. The joy and laughter around the table will be wroth and you will ask “Why don’t we do this more?”

Try New Recipes

Nothing is worse in summer than hearing “What’s for dinner?” Don’t you want to relax too? Make cooking fun and creative by trying new recipes. Some of my favorite cheap summer meals come from Dinnerly. Enjoy cheap summer dinner ideas with new recipes you have not tried before. The kit includes easy recipes and best of all, everything is shipped to your house each week, skip the grocery store.

Play family games

Board games are fun, but have you tried a few games out of the box and not ordinary? See if you can play all of these 52 deck of standard playing card games or go through the entire family game night bucket list.

A solution to cheap summer vacations are staycations. There is a lot of fun that can be had in your home town. Make your own brochure of places to travel and enjoy a staycation with these ideas. You can also print your own staycation printable kid.

Go hiking

Escape to the great outdoors and hike a trail with a cheap summer trip that is local to you. Hiking is not only a family bonding experience, it provides great exercise and fresh air. See how many family hiking trails you can check off your list.

Play balloon tennis

Lots of fun balloon games can be had. Try games like balloon tennis or defy gravity minute to win it games.

Play classic summer games

As a kid, what were some of your favorite activities? Hopstotch on the sidewalk with chalk? Hula hooping – were you the hula hoop queen? What about a bike ride after adding accessories to your bike wheels? Try to go back to some of those 80s summer days with a jump rope, Simon Says, shaving cream, bubbles, and sprinklers, and see if your kids will enjoy the nostalgia. Give them their own retro summer bucket list.

Take a nap outside

Okay, okay – what’s a nap? I get it. If you don’t nap, take a second to lay under the sun and get some vitamin D.

Have a neighborhood bike parade

Explore a new spot with a bike ride. Get to know neighbors in the hood by taking an early evening bike ride.

Host a summer camp

As you know, summer camps can be costly. Cheap summer camps can be had in your own backyard. See if a teen might want to host a one-week summer camp at your home for an hour each day. It isn’t too long and gives neighborhood friends a chance to come together plus a teen a fun activity and a bit of spending money.

Make chalk bombs

Have a blast during something ordinary into something fun – like sidewalk chalk. Make your own chalk bombs using an easy recipe on the web.

The backyard is a perfect place for a campfire. Try these hot dog campfire recipes and enjoy your very own dinner around the flames. Follow up the hot dogs with these tasty s’mores cones.

Make a pinecone with peanut butter and birdseed. It’s adorable o watch the birds (and squirrels) feast at your very own efforts. Hang it outside your window for fun observations. In addition to your DIY bird feeder, invest in some of these best of the best bird feeders.

Play in the dirt

… or the mud. So much fun can be had outdoors. See if you can use a buy-nothing group and find a no longer loved play kitchen. Turn it into a mud kitchen. You can also paly outdoors in the run with these fun rainy-day activities.

Celebrate half birthdays

Summer birthdays add plenty of adventure and opportunities you might not get with a winter birthday (i.e. a pool party!) Half birthdays are a great way to spread the love, attention, and activities.

Draw and paint

Pull out that inner artist with a bit of craft. Drawing ad painting are activities you can take outdoors to the patio or deck. Print out free coloring pages and watch your art portfolio grow.

Run in the sprinklers

Safari & Jungle Animal Party Games for Kids

Looking for fun safari or jungle themed party games for your next wild and crazy party? Enjoy these 12 fun animal party games that you can print. Party animal birthday themed activities and printable games for toddlers, preschoolers & younger kids.

Ready to get wild with some jungle party games? Celebrate like an animal with these fun ideas that are easy to plan and pull together for a party that will cause a roar. With these adventurous jungle theme party games, your guests may cause a stampede to be a part of your tribe!

Safari jungle party games are perfect for kids of all ages and can be easily tailored to whatever level of energy and excitement you want for your party. They are the best games for toddlers and younger kids but can also be tailored toward tweens and teens with just a few animal adaptions.

What is the difference between Jungle and Safari?

The difference between a jungle and a safari is primarily the environment. A jungle would be a lush green space often humid and with water. A safari would be a landscape that is often dry similar to a desert. Often a jungle is attached to tropical regions like South America and a Safari would frequently be used for dry environments like Africa.

Due to different locations and opposite climates, jungle, and safari animals are not the same. Just to name a few, safari animals include a lion, an elephant, a cheetah, a zebra, a rhino, a giraffe, an ostrich and a leopard. Alternatively, jungle animals might include monkeys, snakes, exotic birds, tigers, jaguars, and crocodiles. Animals that might overlap both environments are crocs, cheetahs, and elephants.

When planning an animal party it’s very easy to overlap safari theme party games with jungle theme party games. Luckily both include wild animals (pun in tented – meaning both your guests and the animals).

Safari Party Games

If you’re looking for some classic party games with a wild twist, try a few rounds of musical chairs set to jungle-themed music or have an animal treasure hunt where the prizes are hidden around the yard or park. Both are easy party games and honestly toddlers would love it but teens would also love both! I could just see them fighting over that last chair.

For a more active party, set up a jungle obstacle course with if you have the space or play some fun animal charades. No matter what games you choose, make sure to have plenty of prizes on hand for the winners! It can be a small prize like a piece of candy or animal-themed party favor.

Jungle Theme Party Games

If you want to go all out with a jungle theme party, then you’ll need some games that fit the bill. A few ideas include a Jungle Scavenger Hunt, where guests have to find items on a list around the party area, or a game of Jungle Jeopardy, where teams compete to answer questions about jungle animals. Just make sure you answer in question form!

For a really fun and unique party, try setting up a photo booth with jungle-themed props and backdrops. Your guests will have a blast taking photos and you’ll have some great memories to look back on! In this theme, have everyone come in costume and vote on the best animal costume. This could be great for older kids.

Kids Jungle Party Games

When creating an animal party we often think about the cake, list of guests, decorations, venue and more. One item that comes last is the party entertainment. Let’s put the play back in the party planning with some of the best group games for kids at a party.

What games should we play at a birthday?

Playing games is always fun, but doing exciting games outside in the dark takes the excitement to a new level! These games are perfect for burning out some late-night energy from the kids or having a way to let all the kids at a sleepover get outside and run amuck. Check out the fun games below – and get those flashlights and tennis shoes ready!

No matter the kids’ age (or adults!), everyone can agree that playing outside in the dark is fun. This is especially true if you’re with a bunch of your friends or family members and letting that competitive spirit take over.

There is something mysterious about entering a dark backyard or park. What will you find? How will you use your 5 senses with limited availability of sight? I you are ready to take on a nighttime challenge, you will enjoy these fun outdoor games for the night.

If you are hosting outdoor party games, it’s also important to note that while night games are fun, don’t forget that safety does need to be considered. All of these games are fun to play outside in Mother Nature, but be sure to have flashlights and bug spray and be in an area without cars or traffic to stress out about.

Okay, now that I’ve gotten that motherly advice off my mind, let’s get back to the topic at hand – night games to play outside with friends!

We’ve played these games at sleepovers and family reunions, and they’re a huge hit!

What ages are nighttime games appropriate?

This is really up to your and your comfort level who can play nighttime games. Since most of these scary games to play outside at night include kids using flashlights, you can rest easy that they won’t get spooked from feeling alone in the dark. In addition, these games are playful and silly. Plenty of laughter will scare away the bad guys.

These games do have a series of directions, so they are best for older kids, teens, or adults. However, younger kiddos can easily pair up with older children to give them that sense of belonging and calm.

Lastly, most of these games are best after the sun goes down, so these yard games are best for kids who are still awake after dark.

What games can you play at night outside?

So you are in charge of planning the outdoor entertainment only you don’t know where to begin. When it comes to planning night games to play outside with friends, we’ve done the hard work for you. I know you’re wondering what are some of the outdoor games to play at night, and I’m excited to share them with you.

The hard part of planning an outdoor party at night should not be the entertainment. With just one easy download, all of these 17 outdoor night games and directions will be delivered right to you, ready to print.

Want a sneak peek? Take a look at these fun games included in the printable outdoor games.

Lawn Twister

You just need some neon paint and the ability to make a circle to get the kids twisting the night away. You can use the Twister board from the board game or just have a caller who calls out various commands. If you’re willing to get a bet messy, add a bit of colored shaving foam.

Steal the Bacon

This game does require teamwork and fast feet! Similar to capture the flag only with a faster pace. At the start of each round, a number is called, and the numbered players from each team run for the object and try to get it back to their side for one point. Who will be the sneakiest team to steal the bacon? Only time will tell!

Flashlight Tag

It’s like a regular tag, but with flashlights! Instead of tagging, you use a light to tag players. Having plenty of space to hide makes this the perfect game. Other players can untag you by crawling between your legs. Once everyone is tagged, “it” wins the game, and the game restarts. A perfect activity for the kids to run out of that energy before the midnight hour hits.

Glow Hunt

Grab those leftover Easter eggs and have a hunt in the yard! This is really fun if your Easter Eggs glow. If not, you can fill them with a battery-operated tea light. In addition, fill them with some goodies for extra fun! See if you can have a golden egg for a really serious prize. This egg might not light up.

3 Flies Up

You will need a glow-in-the-dark ball and the ability to have someone toss the ball and someone else catch it. In this game, you want to catch the ball three times to win the round. Try not to run over your friends and teammates.

Flashlight Sardines

This fun game is like hide-and-seek, but the opposite! Plenty of seekers and only one “hider.” Once a seeker finds a player hiding, they hide with the hider until there is one seeker left. The last person then becomes the first person to hide in the next game.

Shoe Pandemonium

You might remember this fun group game from youth group days. Get everyone to take off one of their shoes and throw them all into a pile. Then, see who can get their shoe first, all in the dark!

Glow-in-the-Dark Ring Toss

Using upcycled 2-liter soda bottles, grab those glow-in-the-dark rings and see who can land it on the target. Similar to cornhole, this is a fun backyard game for the nighttime.

SPUD

Grab a ball, toss it in the air, scream out someone’s name, and then watch that person frantically try to catch it. Spell SPUD and lose the game.

Fireflies

This is a super fun game that combines tag and hide-and-seek. Only the person hiding cannot stay in one place. This is great for a campsite or backyard woods. Choose a new firefly each round.

Gloweyball

Insert glow sticks into beach balls in this fun glow-in-the-dark game. It’s like a game of glow stick volleyball with a glow-in-the-dark beach ball. Split players into two teams who can be identified by their different colored glow stick bracelets. So much fun to watch and even more fun to play!

Flashlight Scavenger Hunt

Grab your flashlights and go! This outdoor scavenger hunt game can be used alone or with all the other night games. Don’t worry. As a bonus, you’ll even get the printed scavenger hunts included in this download!

Ghost in the Graveyard

This is the scariest game and likely only an outdoor scary game because of the name. In fact, you might have played this game back when you were younger. It’s like freeze tag meets hide-and-seek, with a bit of screaming involved. Watch the ghost population grows as this game continues to be played.

Potato Drop

Putting potatoes in between your knees and running is the name of this relay race game. You drop the potato, and you have to start all over again at the start line. Twist up the game with a little bit of red light, green light action.

Kick the Can (Glow-in-the-Dark Style)

Talk about a throwback game with a fun glow-in-the-dark spin! This is your typical summer camp game. The first person is “it” and counts to 50 while the others hide. It tries to find hidden players. When they see someone they say their name and where they are (I see Owen in the bush!) Depending on who kicks the can, the player can release prisoners in jail. However, if all the players are in jail, “It” wins and you can start a new game.

Marshmallow Pong

It’s like beer pong but kid-friendly. The kids will bounce the marshmallows into the cup and then eat that marshmallow once it’s inside. It sounds like everyone wins in this fun plastic cup game.

Night Statues

Freeze tag meets sneakiness meets fun. Choose one person as the museum curator. Give them a flashlight. Everyone else is a statue. If a statue is caught moving by the curator, they go back to the starting line. The first person to tag the curator wins.

Supplies

The best part about using these outdoor game printables is that you just need a few simple supplies to start! (you will need to also have a few glow-in-the-dark rings, beach balls, potatoes, a flashlight, and paint – for some of the games)

You can easily start with one and then get the rest as the year goes along. I recommend printing on cardstock and then laminating the printable game. This makes it easier to use over and over again!

How many players are needed for these games?

These games are meant to be enjoyed by a group of people. The more that can join in, the better! Some can be just 2-3 players, but the others are fun to have more people making it more chaotic fun.

Outdoor Night Games Printable

These outdoor games are great for parties! Gather the kids and have them invite all their friends. The outdoor space at your home is about to be the next happening spot!

The Best Adult Scavenger Hunt Ideas That You Can Print!

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

May 9, 2023 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Birthday, Facebook, Games, Instagram, Party, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media Leave a Comment

Are you looking for some creative adult scavenger hunt ideas? These winning adult activities can be used for birthday parties, office parties, youth groups, team-building & more! Check out the list of forty (plus) adult scavenger hunt ideas you can print today.

Who says adults can’t have fun too? Having organized adult activities can create an instant connection. Adult games can be used at ice breakers, team-building activities, birthday party entertainment, and “just because” memories. One type of adult game that can easily become pulled together is a scavenger hunt.

Scavenger hunts are a came full of clues or a list of items that can be quickly collected. These items can be collected in an order using rhyming riddles and clue cards. The collected items don’t have to be picked up and alternatively, they can be photographed as photographic evidence. Lastly, they can be collected as physical objects. Scavenger hunts can be a race against the clock or against another team. They require a competitive spirit, problem-solving skills, and a bit of humor.

The benefits of scavenger hunts are the way they bring people together and improve relationships. The size of the group doesn’t necessarily matter. A bit of friendly competitive spirit can be found between a couple or between an entire team. Scavenger hunts stimulate the brain and boost one’s mood. They create instant connection and a feeling of accomplishment.

Pull out that inner child and take a look at these creative adult treasure hunts. These adult scavenger hunt ideas include both virtual and in-person ideas.

How do you make an interesting scavenger hunt for adults?

When you are ready to hold a scavenger hunt for adults, you want to ensure it’s engaging and enjoyable. A few scavenger hunts require setup. Many scavenger hunts can be printed and instantly played. Before planning an adult scavenger hunt, consider your audience, your players, and the environment where you want the treasure hunt to take place.

To guide you on creating an interesting hunt, follow these basic tips for hosting an adult scavenger hunt.

Step 1: Choose a Location

To being the process of hosting a scavenger hunt, choose your location. Will this be outdoors, indoors, at a venue, or at a special location? Knowing the location of your event, helps you decide what types of clues to have. Will your clues lead to a garden house or a popular store in the mall?

Step 2: Choosing a Theme for your Scavenger Hunt

Once you have the location, consider the occasion. If this is for a special occasion, it might easily establish your scavenger hunt theme. For example a baby shower or birthday party. However, if you have no special occasion or holiday, then you open the possibility of treasure hunt themes – let’s go camping, lake life, red, white, and blue, or even mall madness. Get creative. Your location can help you.

Step 3: Choose your Type of Scavenger Hunt

Once you understand your scavenger hunt location and theme, it’s time to plan the type of scavenger hunt you want. There are two main styles – a scavenger hunt checklist and scavenger hunt clue cards.

When finding items, you can use both physical and virtual items. Virtual items mean one can pick up a smartphone and quickly find something they need on Google. Virutal can also include creating a photo scavenger hunt where only photographic evidence counts.

If creating your own scavenger hunt clues and list of items feels daunting to you, then pre-built scavenger hunt list and customize it. Some of our scavenger hunt sets include editable text for Adobe PDF. Or use pre-built scavenger hunt clues and roll with it adding none of your own personalized ideas and thoughts.

Step 4: Create a List of Scavenger Hunt Rules and Goals

When creating the rules for a scavenger hunt, consider your location, theme, team members, and goal for participation. Is this a team scavenger hunt, is this a race against the clock, or is only one person searching for clues?

Example rules for a scavenger hunt for grown-ups might include:

Time: Is there a time limit for the hunt? Is this man versus clock or team versus team? Can you keep your own pace?

Difficulty: If completing a checklist of activities or things to find, assign various points for each activity based on how hard your list of challenges is.

Participants: Make a list of tasks for the participants! Will your players work with team members or on their own?

Winners: Winners are assigned based on having the most points, completing the tasks first, or finishing the most activities in the set amount of time.

Considering all these things will help you put together your final rules

Step 5: Organize Your Scavenger Hunt Party + Event

Now that you know the location, time, place, theme, and rules, it is important to put it all together before your occasion starts. Download your scavenger hunt printable or create your own. Gather a few prize ideas and set up the clues and scavenger hunt if necessary.

What are examples of fun adult scavenger hunts?

We have a huge selection of the best scavenger hunts. In addition, we have hundreds of kids’ scavenger hunts. I you have a jovial adult who likes to have fun (or needs to have more fun) pick up any of these treasure hunts and let the fun begin.

Virtual Scavenger Hunts

One type of scavenger hunt that doesn’t even require anyone in the same location is a virtual scavenger hunt. This type of scavenger hunt can be done over Zoom, Skype, Google Hangout, or even over a text message. To play an online scavenger hunt, one person will act as the moderator and list an object that has to be found. All players will race to bring that item back to video chat. If doing this over text messaging, then players will quickly text a photo of that item and send it to the group over their cell phones. Points are awarded for being the first player to bring back the item, second or even third. Players after the third player get no points. For larger groups, combine into small teams for a bit of fun team building. The winners will enjoy the gloat for the rest of… well… forever. This game is a fun way for friends and family close and far since physical proximity is not necessary for the interaction of remote teams.

At-Home Scavenger Hunt with Clue Cards

Scavenger hunts with rhyming riddles are always fun. This adult scavenger hunt has clue cards, some of which include adult-themed birthday scavenger hunt clue ideas. There is a set for him. There is a set for her. That means, print this adult scavenger hunt and pull the clue cards that fit your celebration – birthday party games for adults, Valentine’s Day, date night for couples, or just because. One of these at-home scavenger hunt clues even ends up in bed creating a very romantic couple’s scavenger hunt.

Mall Scavenger Hunt

This Mall Scavenger Hunt has two sets. One is a checklist with mall scavenger hunt image ideas. The other includes a checklist of mall scavenger hunt ideas plus a blank template to add your own ideas. While you can certainly do the scavenger hunt with images, the list of scavenger hunt ideas is perfect for a youth group, office party with coworkers, or adults’ night out. This is the perfect activity to take to the mall, Target, Walmart, or any outdoor shopping area. It’s pretty generic plus the blank scavenger hunt template allows you to create your own personalized ideas for the public place you choose to visit.

At the end of the hunt, with the last clue, can be a huge prize or birthday present. Hidden with each clue can be fun prizes or even party favors. Make it your own and you decide what the grand prize is.

Baby Shower Scavenger Hunts

Are you hosting a baby shower? A baby shower scavenger hunt is a bit out of the box and can be used for multiple reasons. With a little creativity, this scavenger hunt game is the perfect way to reveal so many things about the baby. For example, each baby shower clue card can have a letter. Eventually, these letters can spell the baby’s first name for a name reveal. At the end of the hunt, you can have a gender reveal. This can be a surprise for the guests or even the parents-to-be. You can also have fun baby shower party favors along the way. Or the mother-to-be can do the entire hunt herself and gather fun baby shower gifts along the way – what baby shower game would you choose?

The activity will bring so much fun to the girls’ night out and a little bit of inspiration for the bachelorette party games & activities.

What are good Scavenger Hunt Prizes for Adults?

While gloating about your victory, really might ad enough satisfaction, it’s not a bad idea to put together a few fun prize ideas. When braining storming what the winners can receive, think about items you would like to buy for yourself. Then began to gather such things.

How do you entertain kids at an airport?

When a new environment is not enough, there are plenty of ideas for airport activities to entertain young kids. This can include visiting a play area, grabbing a quick bite, playing with electronics, or going on an airport scavenger hunt.

First, consider your environment. Does the airport have something you don’t typically have in your area? This could be trams or trains. If you have a long layover, allow your kids to ride them. People movers allow for a lot of people watching.

Second, outline your day. It’s important to say on a regular food schedule of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you are changing time zones, try to adapt to the new food pattern of your new city. This is the best way to adapt to a time change.

Third, create an adventure with made-up games. This can include games of I Spy, Mother May I, Simon Says, count the… (fill in the blank), scavenger hunts, and more.

Families can play together (cooperatively) or you can play individually (competitively). If you have a short layover, extend the game over the entire trip instead of one layover stop. If this is a competitive airport game, consider adding things like when the game starts, when the game stops, or if you need photographic evidence or word-of-mouth counts. You can even have a meeting point at your stop time to compare answers. Whatever you choose, make this airport game work for your set of travel companions.
